Lanyardlike

Lanyardlike is a term used to describe objects or phenomena that bear a resemblance to a lanyard. A lanyard is typically a cord, strap, or chain worn around the neck or shoulder, designed to hold or display items such as keys, identification badges, or whistles. Therefore, something described as lanyardlike would share these characteristics of being a flexible, elongated item used for attachment or suspension.

Examples of lanyardlike objects might include certain types of straps on bags, the flexible arms of some eyeglasses, or even natural formations that resemble a hanging cord. The term is not a formal scientific or technical classification but rather a descriptive adjective used in everyday language to convey a visual or functional similarity to a lanyard. Its application is context-dependent, relying on the listener's understanding of what a lanyard is. The core concept revolves around the idea of a flexible loop or strand that serves a connecting or carrying purpose. The "like" suffix clearly indicates a comparison rather than a direct identification.
