Morphology

oaklike = oak (transparent) = oak + like

The adjective is directly formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-like' to 'oak', meaning 'resembling an oak', which is obvious to learners.

Etymology

Oaklike is made of oak, the strong, wide‑leafed tree, and the ending -like, which means 'similar to' or 'like'. So calling something oaklike says it looks or feels 'like' an oak — for example strong, rough, or large.
