fairish
Moderately okay, approximately
Fairish means moderately fair or somewhat acceptable—not quite reaching fair but approaching it.
The word applies to quality, quantity, or degree: a fairish amount of work, fairish weather.
It suggests lukewarm assessment, neither endorsement nor criticism.
More common in British English.
