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.
