wrongish
Not quite right
Wrongish describes something that's not quite right but not entirely wrong either—incorrect to some degree or in some respects.
The suffix softens the judgment: The answer isn't wrong exactly, more wrongish.
It suggests approximate error rather than outright mistake: Something about his explanation felt wrongish.
