Morphology

goldish = gold (transparent) = gold + ish

The adjective is formed by adding the productive suffix '-ish' meaning 'somewhat like' to the noun 'gold', yielding a clear 'somewhat resembling gold' meaning.

Etymology

Goldish comes from the simple word gold plus the ending -ish, which means 'somewhat like' or 'a little', and you can see the same idea in greenish or bluish, so goldish is used for a color that is 'a little like' gold.
