blimplike
Resembling an airship
Blimplike describes something resembling a blimp—the nonrigid airship with its distinctive rounded, elongated shape.
The word usually describes physical appearance: a blimplike belly, the blimplike silhouette of the stadium.
It can suggest ungainly bulk or slow, floating movement.
