Learn English – feminine equivalent to the adjective “avuncular”

gender-positivekinship-termssingle-word-requests

My brief researches only bring up the word "auntlike" to render the feminine equivalent of avuncular. Surely, though, and given the etymology of "aunt" [ < Latin amita -father's sister, old feminine past participle of amāre to love, i.e., beloved ], there must be a more lyrical word to hand.

Best Answer

Deriving from your own explanation in the OP, the natural choice would be amicular.

I do not seem to find any dictionary entries. Need to see why.
