(-Like) – English editing.

When writing words ending in -like which are well established, such as childlike, businesslike, dreamlike, and ladylike, it is correct not to use a hyphen, even though you may come across such words written with one. In contrast, where the combination is a one-off or not fully established, you should insert a hyphen: flu-like, Zen-like, needle-like.
