Is this a word and if so what does it mean?

It seems to mean desirable. It is so good that you want more. It usually seems to refer to food, but surely other items (books, for example) could apply also. There are many sites with definitions. Here are some links and info.

1. moreish 133 up, 3 down love it hate it

addictive, or not quite fully addictive. Sometimes a euphemism for the word "addictive".

Citation: Harper's Magazine, September 2005, p. 17, "Do Not Pass Out."

Chocolate truffles may not be addictive, but they sure are moreish.

But as long as we're on ish, a BrE word that really fills a gap for me is moreish (sometimes more-ish) as in These chocolate biscuits are really moreish--i.e., they make you want to eat more of them. Here's a real example from a review of Tia Maria creme liqueur in Scotland on Sunday:

Tia Maria has blended a winner here. It is a moreish mix of Jamaican coffee, rum and cream that slides down so easily it should be served in an iced glass - pint-sized.

I use the "ish" in many ways. When talking about time I will say that I will be there about 2ish, which means give or take a few minutes before or after two. When talking about a gathering then I would say about 10ish people attending, and that usually means no more or less then 2 people either way. I don't understand how this would pertain to a book though.

It isn't a bet {that was possibly just regional pronunciation or someone being 'posh'}more-ish it means just that, a bit more, not moor as another contributor has said. Not being smart..a..... just pointing it out ooops sorry you didn't mean bet at all. Sorry. Sorry sorry.. I'm too quick for my own good.

Hi Peapie,

The ish means,MORE..I think it is sort of Slang..Like the book moreish..More Information..

Your Friend,

Was the book written by someone named Moore? Or was the book a lot like another one written by someone named Moore?

If not, this sentence makes no sense.

Moorish here in the UK would mean that the subject had the ability to produce an almost impossible urge to resist it.

Not necessarily a good or pleasant trait.

It could be said that they 'Death by Chocolate' pudding was very moorish ..... but sadly it lived up to it's name!

ish (comparative more ish, superlative most ish)...this is from WIKI

It means over and above "more"

1. (informal, of food) That makes one want to have more

Might the person have said, "it sounds a bit morose to me." ?

Yeah, what Joyce Just said.

it means wanting more.

most often used for food , but can be used in any context.
