Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian gelīk , Old Dutch gilīk (Middle Dutch gelijc , Dutch gelijk ), Old Saxon gilīk (Middle Low German gelīk ), Old High German gilīh (Middle High German gelīch , German gleich ), Old Icelandic glíkr , Gothic galeiks < the Germanic base of y- prefix + the Germanic base of lich n. Compare later like adj., like n.1, and alike adj., which have now superseded this word. Compare also anlike adj.The Germanic base. The prefixed formation apparently already existed at an early stage in Germanic, with the second element showing its underlying sense ‘form, shape’ (compare the semantically parallel formation classical Latin conformis conform adj.). The existence of an Old Icelandic form with initial g- supports this assumption, since the prefix was no longer productive in North Germanic, but survives in this reduced form in a small number of early combinations (see discussion at y- prefix). Form history. In Old English the stem-final (originally velar) consonant is phonologically subject to palatalization and assibilation at the end of the word (gelīċ ) and before inflectional endings beginning with a front vowel (e.g. dative singular gelīċe ); in other positions the velar plosive is retained (e.g. dative plural gelīcum , superlative gelīcost ). However, the assibilated consonant was probably sometimes analogically extended to such forms already in Old English. The assibilated forms continue into Middle English (usually spelt ch : see α. forms). The β. forms partly reflect unassibilated forms of the Old English paradigm, but probably also show the influence of the early Scandinavian cognates and perhaps also of the ultimately related like v.1 For discussion of the γ. forms see ylike adv. (where the corresponding forms are earlier and commoner). The comparative and superlative forms Old English geliccra , geliccast , geliccost , early Middle English ilicchest apparently show shortening of the vowel and compensatory lengthening of the consonant (as does the genitive plural form geliccra at α. forms). Notes on noun use. In use as noun in Old English inflected as a weak masculine in sense B. 1, but as a strong neuter in sense B. 2. With Middle English use in sense B. 2 compare also like n.1 1 and the discussion at that entry.
Obsolete.
A. adj.
1.
a. Having a close resemblance; similar, identical; = like adj. 1a.In some negative phrases (see, e.g. quots. c1300 and a1500 at sense A. 1a(a)), there is the implication of being unequalled rather than of a mere lack of resemblance.
(a) With a noun or noun phrase as complement. In Old English with dative.

Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old Frisian gelīke , Old Dutch gilīko (Middle Dutch gelike , Dutch gelijk ), Old Saxon gilīko (Middle Low German gelīke ), Old High German gilīhho (Middle High German gelīche , gelīch , German gleich ), all in sense ‘equally’, Old Icelandic glíka , in sense ‘also’, Gothic galeiko , in sense ‘equally’ < the Germanic base of ylike adj. Compare later like adv. and alike adv.For a discussion of the α. and β. forms see ylike adj.; compare also forms at like adj., adv., conj., and prep. The γ. forms are characteristic of northern Middle English and Older Scots. The initial vowel e- of these forms shows lowering from i- in Middle English (compare forms of enough adj., pron., n., and adv.); some examples may perhaps alternatively represent a variant of alike adv. with reduction of the first syllable under low stress.
Obsolete.
