Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Subjectlike

👉 The term "subject-like" is used in linguistics to describe a word or phrase that has a similar meaning to another word or phrase, but is not identical. This can occur when two words have different meanings, but are related in some way, such as through their semantic overlap or syntactic similarity. For example, the English word "dog" and its French equivalent "chien", while having very different meanings, share a common root: "doux", which means "lovely".
