'almondlike' originates from the English word 'almond,' which comes from the Old French 'almande,' derived from the Latin 'amygdala,' meaning 'almond.' The suffix '-like' is used to form adjectives indicating resemblance.

'almond' changed from the Old French word 'almande' and eventually became the modern English word 'almond.'

Initially, 'almond' referred to the nut itself, but the suffix '-like' evolved to describe anything resembling an almond in shape or appearance.
