▪ I. alike, a.|əˈlaɪk| Forms: α. 1–2 ᵹelíc, 2–4 ilich(e, 5 yleche. β. 4–5 alyche (5 aleche, 6 aleeche). γ. 2–5 ilik(e, 5 illike, ilyke, ylyke, ylike. δ. 5–6 alyke, 6– alike. [Here, as in alike adv., two, if not three, earlier words seem blended: 1. OE. ᵹelíc (OS. gelîc, gilîc, OFris. gelîk, OHG. ge-, gi-, ga-lîh, mod.G. gleich, Goth. galeiks, ON. glîkr), f. ge-:—ga- together + líc like; 2. ON. álíkr (cogn. w. OE. anlíc, onlíc, Goth. analeiks, OHG. ana(ga)lîh, MHG. anelîch), f. á prep. on, unto, to + lík like; 3. The OE. anlíc itself survived to 14th c., and would naturally also give alike, alich, as its later form; see anlike. The mod. alike seems mainly due to the ON., the 15th c. repr. of OE. ᵹelíc being ilich; but the example of afford, and the a- for ᵹe- in s.w. dial., show that ᵹelíc might have given alike independently.] Like one another, similar, of identical form or character.
