Word Origin: Derived from the Greek prefix "παρά" (para, meaning "beside" or "alongside") and "ὅμοιος" (homoios, meaning "similar" or "like"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "παρόμοιος," the concept of similarity or likeness can be found in Hebrew words like "דָּמָה" (damah, Strong's H1819) meaning "to resemble" or "to be like." Usage: The Greek adjective "παρόμοιος" (paromoios) is used to describe something that is similar or resembling another in form, appearance, or nature. It conveys the idea of likeness or comparison between two or more entities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of similarity was often used in philosophical and rhetorical contexts to draw comparisons and analogies. The use of "παρόμοιος" would have been understood in terms of likeness in character, function, or appearance, which was a common method of teaching and explanation in ancient times.
