simil &simul





These
ROOT-WORDS are SIMIL & SIMUL which comes from the Latin meaning LIKE & RESEMBLING. The second meaning SIMUL has a fine meaning in the words so far. But beginning with No. 11 SIMUL suggests deception. It is no longer honest and sincere. The meaning assumes a tricky, artificial look.
