Analogy

The term that means "word
relationships” is called Analogy.

It is like a word puzzle.
It always contains two pairs of words.

It can be abbreviated like
stallion : mare :: man: woman.
The single colon (:) represents the
phrase “is to”, and the double colon
(::)represents the word “as”.
Thus, it is read a stallion is to mare as

man is to woman.
An analogy shows comparison between
things that have similar features, often
used to help explain a principle or idea.
The two things being compared may be
completely dissimilar which still helps you
to understand something about their
relationship.
1. night : day :: happy : sad
If you say that the pairs show an

opposite relationship, then you are
correct because night is the opposite
of day and happy is also the opposite
of sad.
And that type of analogy is called
Antonyms.
2. husband : spouse :: baby : infant
The pairs show a similar relationship or

have the same meaning because
husband and spouse have the same
meaning as well as the second paired
words which are baby and infant.
It is called Synonyms.
3. thirst : drink:: study : good
grades
The analogies contain words that are the
causes, or the sources of some actions or
conditions which are thirst and study
and the other words that are the effects,
or the results or consequences which are
drink and good grades. And that type
is called Cause and Effect.
4. student : classroom :: leaf : tree
In this case, student and leaf are parts

of classroom and tree.
And we call this type of analogy as Part

to whole.
5. sea: fish :: forest: lion
The sea and forest are locations for fish

and lion. And that is called Location as a
type of analogy.
