Definição

Resemblance is the way in which two or more things look, sound, or seem similar to each other.

Uso & Nuances

Mostly used in formal or written contexts. Common phrases: 'bear a resemblance,' 'family resemblance,' 'striking resemblance.' It describes similarity in appearance, not exact sameness. Don't confuse with 'likeness' or 'similarity'—'resemblance' implies partial, not complete, similarity.
