swamplike
Wet and murky
Resembling or characteristic of a swamp—wet, murky, and overgrown.
The word describes terrain, atmosphere, or conditions that evoke boggy lowlands: The backyard turned swamplike after a week of rain.
It can suggest stagnation or oppressive humidity: swamplike air that clung to the skin.
