'record-like' originates from English, specifically the adjective-forming suffix '-like' added to the noun 'record'.

'record' comes into English via Old French and Middle English from Latin 'recordari' (to recall), and the modern compound 'record-like' arose in Modern English by attaching '-like' to the noun 'record' to mean 'similar to a record'.

Initially, 'record' referred to 'a thing remembered' or an account; over time it extended to documents, archival entries, and physical phonographic records, and 'record-like' now typically refers to resemblance to those modern senses (especially the physical disc/record sense).
