From Old Swedish līker, from Old Norse líkr, glíkr, from Proto-Germanic *galīkaz.

lik (comparative mer lik, superlative mest lik)

1. looking like, resembling (in appearance or other characteristics)

   Du är lik henne. Samma näsa.

   You look like (resemble) her. Same nose.

   Du är lik henne till sättet

   You are like (resemble) her in manner

   Han är lik sin far

   He resembles his father (same ambiguity as in English)

   The new process is similar to (resembles) the old one

2. (in the plural) alike, same (the same or similar)

   Min bror och jag är inte lika alls

   My brother and I are very different (not alike at all)

• Though often un-idiomatic-sounding in English, resembling is the translation that best matches the meaning in the singular. English like may partially be considered a false friend. "You are like her" would most naturally be translated as "Du är som henne" (You are as her).
• Tends strongly towards physical resemblance in the singular without context. "Du är lik Michael Jackson" would always be taken as "You look like Michael Jackson" without strong clues towards other characteristics. Other uses may intuitively be thought of as "looking like" in a figurative sense.
