The word "semblance" comes from the Latin word "simulantia," which means "imitation" or "pretense." This word is derived from the verb "simulare," which means "to make like" or "to pretend." The English word "semblance" was first used in the 14th century, and it has been used ever since to refer to the external appearance or form of something, as well as to its likeness or resemblance to something else.
