gearlike
Resembling mechanical teeth
Resembling a gear in shape or function—typically toothed, circular, and designed to mesh with other parts: gearlike wheels, gearlike mechanisms.
The word often describes biological structures or natural formations that echo mechanical design: The beetle's legs moved in gearlike synchronization.
