Origin: 1586 ;

 Earlier, "(of parts of the body) made up of one substance, homogeneous," borrowed from Medieval Latin similāris, from Latin similis "having characteristics in common, like" + -āris {see: |-ar|-ar}; similis going back to dialectal Indo-European *sm̥h2-el-i- (whence also, with different stem formations, Old Irish amal, preposition, "like, as," samail "likeness, similarity," Middle Welsh hafal "like, similar," Greek homalόs "even, uniform, equal, like"), derivative of *semh2 "one, one and the same" {mat|same:1|};

  * Note : Latin similis is presumably from *semilis, with > before a sonorant and a following i. Compare from the same stem simul "in company, together, at the same time" (semol in an early inscription), with carried over from similis (see: {simultaneous|simultaneous}); and semel "a single time, once" (see: {semelparous|semelparous}). — The Celtic outcomes show an internal change of *-ema- > *-ama- ("Joseph's Law"). The initial in Greek homalόs, for expected *a, has probably been carried over from homόs "shared among all, common, same," homoîos "like, similar" (see: {homo-|hom-} {homeo-|homeo-}), — A different analysis of similis and like words has been proposed by G.E. Dunkel (Lexikon der indogermanischen Partikeln und Pronominalstämme, Heidelberg, 2014, p. 726). Behind similis the author see:s *sm̥-h2el-ó-, with *sm̥- as zero-grade of *som- "together, with, the same" and *h2el- taken to be the verbal base meaning "nourish, bring up" (see: {old:1|old:1})—hence the compound would have meant "of equal growth," whence "like, similar." Dunkel analyzes semel "a single time," differently, however, as *sem-le, with *sem- "one" and *le "over there, distant" (pp. 491, 673).;
