An analogy is a comparison between two things, typically for the purpose of explanation or clarification. It highlights the similarities between two distinct items or concepts, helping to make complex or unfamiliar ideas more accessible. Analogies are often used in education, literature, and everyday communication to illustrate points and enhance understanding. They can be found in various forms, from simple comparisons to more elaborate metaphors.
