Lincolnesque( (ling-kuh-NESK) ) adjective
show definition Adjective: Suggestive of Abraham Lincoln.
Etymology: After Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States.
Usage: “A Lincolnesque leader is confident enough to be humble -- to not feel the need to bluster or dominate, but to be sufficiently sure of one’s own judgment and self-worth to really listen and not be threatened by contrary advice.” Evan Thomas and Richard Wolffe; Lincoln’s Obama; Newsweek (New York); November 24, 2008.
