An archaic term meaning resemblance, likeness, or the state of being similar in appearance or qualities.
From Old French 'assemblance', from 'assembler' (to assemble/resemble), influenced by Latin 'similis' (similar). The word evolved to mean 'likeness' before becoming obsolete.
This beautiful archaic word shows how 'assemble' and 'resemble' share the same root—both originally meant 'to look similar to'—a etymological remnant of how similar things naturally group together.
