1. Analogicaladjective

   Etymology: from analogy.

   1. Used by way of analogy. It seems properly distinguished from analogous, as words from things; analogous signifies having relation, and analogical having the quality of representing relation.

   It is looked on only as the image of the true God, and that not as a proper likeness, but by analogical representation. Edward Stillingfleet, Def. of Disc. on Rom. Idolatry.

   When a word, which originally signifies any particular idea or object, is attributed to several other objects, not by way of resemblance, but on the account of some evident reference to the original idea, this is peculiarly called an analogical word; so a sound or healthy pulse, a sound digestion, sound sleep, are so called, with reference to a sound and healthy constitution; but if you speak of sound doctrine, or sound speech, this is by way of resemblance to health, and the words are metaphorical. Isaac Watts, Logick.

   2. Analogous; having resemblance or relation.

   There is placed the minerals between the inanimate and vegetable province, participating something analogical to either. Matthew Hale, Origin of Mankind.
