similar: similar: [17] Similar comes via French similaire from medieval Latin *similāris, a derivative of Latin similis ‘like, similar’. This or the closely related simul ‘a(chǎn)t the same time’ have also given English assemble [13], dissemble [15], ensemble [15], resemble, semblance [13], similitude [14], simulate [17], and simultaneous [17]. Its ultimate source was the Indo-European base *sem-, *som-, which also lies behind English same, simple, single, and the homo- of homosexual.
