Definition
As a preposition, it means different from someone or something. As an adjective, it describes things that are not similar.
Etymology
From Old English 'un-' (not) + 'līc' (like, similar). It has been used this way since early English.
Kelly Says
Unlike is simply 'not-like' squeezed into one word. It’s the mirror of 'like': one pulls things together, the other pushes them apart for comparison.
