- resemble
- resemble: [14] Resemble goes back ultimately to Latin similis ‘like’, source of English similar. From it was formed the verb similāre ‘imitate’, which passed into Old French as sembler ‘be like, seem’ (source of English semblance). Addition of the intensive prefix re- produced resembler ‘be very like’ – whence English resemble.
=> similar - resemble (v.)
- mid-14c., from Old French resembler "belike" (12c., Modern French ressemble), from re-, intensive prefix, + sembler "to appear, to seem, be like," from Latin simulare "to copy" (see similar (adj.)). Related: Resembled; resembling.
