weakish

Not quite feeble

Somewhat weak; slightly lacking in strength, intensity, or conviction.

The suffix -ish softens the judgment: The coffee was weakish, but drinkable.

A weakish argument isn't entirely unconvincing, just not particularly strong.

The word sees limited use, as "a bit weak" or "fairly weak" serve the same purpose.
