Word meaning "feather-like"
Solution 1:
How about "plumose"?
It has the same meaning as "feathery."
Solution 2:
Pennaceous is one word common in ornithology for feather-like. You could also use these words derived from plume. (See Free Dictionary.)
- plumose
- plumate
- plumous
One point to note is the latter set of words could be used both for feather-like and feathery, so the usage is inferred from the context. Going by the OED, only plumose stands for feather-like; the rest are for having feathers or feathery.
Solution 3:
Similar to pinnated is pennate, used to refer to the feather-like strands of the bicep, for instance.
