I honestly have never heard of the word before. It doesn't seem like something that would be used in daily conversations.

@PurpleFire6 thanks, I see it. I kinda knew it's not a quotidian (like this word) one, but wanted to know if it exists at all:)

@Rudest1ny
“Lamb like” exists, but many spell that adjective as two separate words. As a result, we have three optional spellings. “Lamblike”, “lamb like”, and lamb-like.” So, to make a long story short: lamb like exists, but as @PurpleFire6 said, it’s not common in everyday speech.
In fact, one may substitute any other noun for “lamb” to get an idea across. The construction just means “resembles a xxxx”
You could say:
dog-like, cat-like, tractor-like, or even degu-like 😊

@marko_212 Marko, I see it, tyvm:)
For example, if I say "He's fool-like", would it sound a little bit softer than just "fool"?

@Rudest1ny Yeah, it does soften the word “fool.” Weirdly, your example sounds a little odd to my ear. I think I’d say, “he’s such a fool-like person”
But it all works. 👍

@marko_212 I guess there are only two ways to grasp such minor differences: either be a native or a person who has lived in the English-speaking world for a while:)
Have a good day, Marko:)
