Morphology

moblike = mob (transparent) = mob + like

Formed by the productive adjective suffix '-like' added to the clear noun 'mob', so the meaning 'resembling a mob' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Moblike comes from mob, which is linked to the Latin word mobile meaning 'movable' or a 'crowd that moves', and the ending -like which means 'similar to'. So to call behaviour moblike is to say it is 'like a crowd that moves and acts without order', which explains why it means 'disorderly' or 'lawless'.
