doughlike
Yielding when pressed
Doughlike describes something with the texture or consistency of dough—soft, pliable, and slightly sticky.
The word usually describes things that shouldn't have that quality: doughlike skin, a doughlike mass.
It suggests something yielding and malleable, often unpleasantly so.
