Analogies
(gcide) | Analogy \A*nal"o*gy\, n.; pl. Analogies. [L. analogia, Gr. ?,
fr. ?: cf. F. analogie. See Analogous.]
1. A resemblance of relations; an agreement or likeness
between things in some circumstances or effects, when the
things are otherwise entirely different. Thus, learning
enlightens the mind, because it is to the mind what light
is to the eye, enabling it to discover things before
hidden.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Followed by between, to, or with; as, there is an
analogy between these objects, or one thing has an
analogy to or with another.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Analogy is very commonly used to denote similarity or
essential resemblance; but its specific meaning is a
similarity of relations, and in this consists the
difference between the argument from example and that
from analogy. In the former, we argue from the mere
similarity of two things; in the latter, from the
similarity of their relations. --Karslake.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Biol.) A relation or correspondence in function, between
organs or parts which are decidedly different.
[1913 Webster]
3. (Geom.) Proportion; equality of ratios.
[1913 Webster]
4. (Gram.) Conformity of words to the genius, structure, or
general rules of a language; similarity of origin,
inflection, or principle of pronunciation, and the like,
as opposed to anomaly. --Johnson.
