resemble

To resemble something means that two things look similar or have some qualities in common.

When we use the word "resemble," we usually compare two things - like a person's face and a family member's, or a new product and one we already know. We might say, "The new employee resembles her older brother" to mean she looks a bit like him. Or, "This restaurant's food resembles our favorite fast-food chain." This can be because of the way they look, their taste, smell, or even some kind of behavior. When you hear someone say that two things resemble each other, it means there are enough similarities to catch your attention and make a connection between them.
