مِثْلlikeness, equalEtymology
The word is the active participle of the Form II verb مَثَّلَ, meaning to represent or to portray. That verb derives from the triliteral root م-ث-ل, which carries the sense of likeness and resemblance. A مُمَثِّل is therefore one who makes a likeness, whether by acting a part on stage or by standing in for another.
