-esque, suffixforming adjs., represents Fr. -esque, ad. It. -esco:—med.L. -iscus in words adopted from Teut.; cf. OHG. -isc (mod.G. -isch):—OTeut. -isko-: see -ish. Occurring in many words coming through Fr. from It., as in arabesque, burlesque, Dantesque, grotesque, romanesque, where the suffix has the sense ‘resembling the style partaking of the characteristics of’. In Ital. derivatives in -esco are formed ad libitum on names of artists, and Fr. and Eng. writers on art have imitated this practice. The words formed with this suffix on Eng. ns. are chiefly nonce-words of a jocular character, as cigaresque. Other formations separately noticed include Audenesque, Bramantesque, Browningesque, Caravagg(i)esque, Carlylesque, Chaplinesque, Dantonesque, Dickensesque, Disneyesque, Macaulayesque, Turneresque.

-esque

  • IPA: /-ɛsk/
  • Suffix

    1. In the style or manner of; appended to nouns, especially proper nouns, and forming adjectives.
      Kafkaesque
      2012 August 21, Jason Heller, “The Darkness: Hot Cakes (Music Review)”, in The Onion AV Club[1]:
      When the album succeeds, such as on the swaggering, Queen-esque “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us,” it does so on The Darkness’ own terms—that is, as a random ’80s-cliché generator. But with so many tired, lazy callbacks to its own threadbare catalog (including “Love Is Not The Answer,” a watery echo of the epic “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” from 2003’s Permission To Land), Hot Cakes marks the point where The Darkness has stopped cannibalizing the golden age of stadium rock and simply started cannibalizing itself. And, despite Hawkins’ inveterate crotch-grabbing, there was never that much meat there to begin with.
    2. Resembling; appended to nouns, especially proper nouns, and forming adjectives.
