to honor, to bear with, conform to, saemr becoming, fit,
s[=o]ma to beseem, to befit, sama to beseem, semja to

[1913 Webster]
Syn: To appear; look.
Usage: Seem, Appear. To appear has reference to a thing's
being presented to our view; as, the sun appears; to
seem is connected with the idea of semblance, and
usually implies an inference of our mind as to the
probability of a thing's being so; as, a storm seems
to be coming. "The story appears to be true," means
that the facts, as presented, go to show its truth;
"the story seems to be true," means that it has the
semblance of being so, and we infer that it is true.
"His first and principal care being to appear unto his
people such as he would have them be, and to be such
as he appeared." --Sir P. Sidney.
