lancelike
Shaped like spears
Lancelike means resembling a lance—long, slender, and tapering to a point.
The word appears most often in botanical descriptions: lancelike leaves, lancelike petals.
It can also describe anything with that narrow, pointed shape: lancelike shadows stretched across the floor.
