Something that is analogous to or corresponds with another thing; an analogue or parallel.
From Greek 'analogon' (proportionate, corresponding), the neuter form of 'analogos'. Rare in modern English, it's more common in philosophical and technical texts where precise linguistic roots are preferred.
In philosophy and art theory, 'analogon' describes the relationship between a symbol and what it represents—like how a portrait is an analogon for the actual person.
