■English highway﹕-like
"-like" is used after a noun to say that something is similar to or typical of the noun. A hyphen is almost always used in British usage. But in American usage, the suffix is sometimes joined with the noun without a hyphen.
e.g. What is the ball-like structure on top of that building?
