'antelope-like' originates from the English word 'antelope', which itself comes from the Old French 'antelop', and the suffix '-like', which is used to form adjectives meaning 'resembling or characteristic of'.

'antelope' changed from the Old French word 'antelop' and eventually became the modern English word 'antelope'.

Initially, 'antelope' referred to a mythical creature, but over time it evolved into its current meaning of a swift, graceful animal.
