similarity
Analogy is specifically a resemblance of relations; a resemblance that may be reasoned from, so that from the likeness in certain respects we may infer that other and perhaps deeper relations exist. Affinity is a mutual attraction with or without seeming likeness; as, the affinity of iron for oxygen. Coincidence is complete agreement in some one or more respects; there may be a coincidence in time of most dissimilar events. Parity of reasoning is said of an argument equally conclusive on subjects not strictly analogous. Similitude is a rhetorical comparison of one thing to another with which it has some points in common. Resemblance and similarity are external or superficial, and may involve no deeper relation; as, the resemblance of a cloud to a distant mountain. Compare ALLEGORY.

Raneshwar Sing Kishan:
There is so much similarity between Farmers protest and Jan Lokpal agitation. Some leaders are same, the method is similar. Jan Lokpal movement turned out to be bogus with its leaders planted by Govt only in people. The benefit of Janlokpal agitation was reaped by only its leaders who enjoy all luxury now and the protesters felt ditched only by them. Protesting farmers should keep an eye on its leaders as who they meet in private.

Synonym Chooser
How is the word similarity distinct from other similar nouns?

When could analogy be used to replace similarity?
In some situations, the words analogy and similarity are roughly equivalent. However, analogy implies likeness or parallelism in relations rather than in appearance or qualities.
pointed out analogies to past wars
Where would resemblance be a reasonable alternative to similarity?
The words resemblance and similarity can be used in similar contexts, but resemblance implies similarity chiefly in appearance or external qualities.
statements that bear little resemblance to the truth
In what contexts can similitude take the place of similarity?
While in some cases nearly identical to similarity, similitude applies chiefly to correspondence between abstractions.
