Etymology

Asemenea grew out of the older Romanian adverb asemene, built from the prefix a- attached to seamăn, the Romanian word for 'a fellow' or 'one like another'. Seamăn traces back to Latin semen, seminis, meaning 'seed' or 'offspring', on the idea that people from the same seed or stock resemble each other. The same Latin root also gave Romanian sămânță, meaning 'seed'.
