Meaning
adjective similar or equivalent in some respects though otherwise dissimilar
adjective corresponding in function but not in evolutionary origin
originFrom Latin analogus, from Ancient Greek ᾰ̓νᾰ́λογος (ănắlogos); Its English equivalent is analogue + -ous. The application to similar features of organisms is nearly as old as the general sense. Recognizably modern uses of the second sense, distinguishing analogous from homologous, appear in the mid-19th century.
