'gorge-like' originates from the word 'gorge,' which comes from Old French 'gorge,' meaning 'throat' or 'narrow passage.' The suffix '-like' is used to form adjectives indicating resemblance.

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

Initially, 'gorge' meant 'throat' or 'narrow passage,' but over time it evolved to describe a deep, narrow valley with steep sides.
