ὁμοιότητα
homoiótēs
likeness
State or condition of being like or similar; resemblance, similarity. The primary lexical meaning is 'likeness'—a quality or characteristic shared that creates a comparability between two entities. The term can indicate a comparison, an analogy, or the fact of being alike in essential features. Contextually, it can refer to abstract similarity (e.g., likeness in form or nature), metaphorical likeness (e.g., similarity in conduct or status), or, in specific texts, an exemplar or representation that stands for something else.
