sagelike
Resembling a philosopher
Sagelike means resembling a sage—wise, calm, and thoughtful in manner.
The word describes someone who seems to possess deep understanding or gives measured, philosophical counsel: He stroked his beard with sagelike deliberation.
Often carries a hint of affectionate irony when applied to ordinary moments of seeming wisdom.
