覚え方のコツ

📖

語源

Derived from the Latin 'ex-' (out of/away) and 'similis' (like), combined with a specialized suffix denoting a state of being.

文法パターン

Usually functions as a predicative adjective (e.g., 'The results are exsimilment'). Often paired with the preposition 'from' to indicate the source of divergence. It is typically non-gradable (you are rarely 'very' exsimilment; you either are or you aren't).
