analogous
의미: Comparable in certain respects, typically in a way that makes it useful for explanation or clarification; similar in function or position though not identical in origin or structure.
Analogous implies a structural or functional similarity rather than identity. In biology, analogous structures (such as the wings of birds and bats) serve the same function but evolved independently, as opposed to homologous structures, which share a common origin. In general academic and professional usage, the word introduces comparisons: 'the situation is analogous to...' It is more precise than 'similar' and signals that the comparison is deliberate and instructive. It collocates with 'analogous to,' 'roughly analogous,' 'analogous situation,' and 'analogous process.'
