Etymology
The term 'hornlike' comes from the root word 'horn', which originates from the Old English 'horn' meaning 'hard, pointed projection', referring to the bony outgrowths found on the heads of certain animals. The suffix '-like' is a common English formation used to indicate resemblance or similarity. The formation is akin to other descriptive adjectives in English that derive their meaning by combining a noun with '-like'. Over time, 'hornlike' has been used to describe not just animal characteristics but also features in various objects, plants, and even architectural details, expanding its usage in the English language beyond its original zoological context.
