/ˈanl̩ɒɡ/, U.S.

/ˈænlˌɔɡ/,

/ˈænlˌɑɡ/

Forms: 1800s– analog (chiefly U.S.), 1800s– analogue.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: French analogue; Greek ἀνάλογον.

Etymology: < (i) French analogue thing that has characteristics in common with another thing (1787), person who resembles another (mid 19th cent.), and its etymon (ii) ancient Greek ἀνάλογον analogon n. Compare earlier analogate n., analogon n.In sense B. 1a arising from the use of some sort of analogy or analogue in the calculating device (compare e.g. quots. 1941², 1960 for analogue computer n. at Compounds). In sense B. 1e arising from the representation of the original signal by an analogously varying physical quantity. In technical uses as adjective normally opposed to uses of digital adj.

A. n.

I. Technical senses.

a. Zoology and Botany. Originally: an extant species which corresponds to a fossil form. Later more widely: a species or group of organisms in one region, ecosystem, or geological period which has the same general form and role or occupies the same ecological niche as a different species or group in another region, ecosystem, or period.
