similars
USSIM-uh-lurz/ˈsɪməlɚz/UKSIM-uh-luhz/ˈsɪmələz/
- 1Plural of similar. Rare.
Note
Only the noun takes this plural. As an adjective, similar never adds -s, so it is similar items but a set of similars. The noun has two uses: the general one, for things that resemble something else, and a medical one, for substances whose effects resemble the symptoms of a disease. That second use sits behind the homeopathic phrase "law of similars."
