pikelike

comparative more pikelike · superlative most pikelike

1. Resembling or characteristic of a pike (fish).
2. Having the shape of a pike (weapon).

   Before long, however, these pike-like devices were mostly superseded by spring-operated guns of various types. Most of them shot spinning disks, crosses, or small boomerangs of thin steel.
