1、ana- "up" + log- "count, reckon, that which is thought; ratio, proportion(引申义)" + -ous.2、ana- "up" 表示向上、上面的一个参考,向它看齐,以它作为一个标准。3、字面含义:count up, reckon up, the up level that something which is thought tend to parallel. => 也就向着、跟着、趋向上面的某个标准、参考对象看齐,来进行思考、计算、说话等;由此引申为:比喻、类比、类推、模拟、类似等含义。4、其实,该词在原始的希腊语中表示:proportionate,也就是使其与上面的某个标准、参考对象成比例;使其与上面的某个标准、参考对象相称或者均衡。后来,被借用到拉丁语中,其含义才变成了今天的含义。

analogous (adj.)1640s, from Latin analogus, from Greek analogos "proportionate, according to due proportion" (see analogy)."
