Etymology

The noun **ressemblance** comes from the French verb *ressembler* “to resemble,” which is a compound of the prefix *re-* “again” and *sembler* “to seem.” *sembler* itself descends from the Latin *simulari* “to imitate, to appear similar,” derived from *similis* “similar.” Thus *ressemblance* literally denotes “the state of appearing again similarly,” evolving in Old French as *resembler* and later acquiring the noun form with the suffix *‑ance* in the 17th century.
