worklike

Where it comes from

From work + -like.

adjective more worklike · most worklike

Characteristic of or resembling work. The Letters [of Jean Rhys], alas, are nowhere as interesting as the novels. We do get to see another side of Rhys, which is nowhere evident in the fiction — a dreary, work-like attitude which belies the faded, expiring tone of the novels.
Similar: workish, worky
