Forms: 1600s analogus, 1600s– analogous, 1700s– analagous (now nonstandard).

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element. Etymons: Latin analogus , -ous suffix.

a. Characterized by correspondence to; resembling, or bearing comparison with; parallel, equivalent; comparable, similar.

1653 Z. Coke Art of Logick i. 17 When a generall name is given to divers things, whereof one is dependant on another (as upon the more principal) touching the nature of it; as this word thing is most generall..it is therefore called an Analogus general or genus.
