Etymology
مُشابِه is the active participle of the Form III verb شابَهَ, meaning to resemble or be similar to. It comes from the triliteral Semitic root ش-ب-ه, which carries the core sense of likeness. The مُفاعِل pattern of Form III participles typically marks someone or something engaged in a mutual or reciprocal action, here the act of resembling another.
