'Tookish' means to have the traits associated with The Hobbit 'Took' family or clan. They are known to be unusually adventurous for Hobbits, which is what they will refer to as 'Tookish' behaviour. Both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins had Took mothers.

The Tooks were an old well established and rather rich hobbit family. They also had a bit of wildness in them, someone said there had been a fairy in the lineage. The Tooks were respected for their wealth, but not for their adventurousness.
