meikyo sense 5:
(わずかに足りないが)ほぼその数量に等しいさま。
「百キロに━体重」
「一万人━聴衆が集まる」

daijs sense 5:
性質・内容・程度などの隔たりが少ない。「オレンジ色に―・い赤」「理想に―・い相手」⇔遠い。
  Comments:
this isn't being used as a suffix.  it's 〜に近い with the に dropped.  i think the added sense is simply our current sense 5 applied to numbers

i have never heard the word "likeworthy" in my life and it's not in any dictionary i can find.
