The answer
ALIKE
What alike means
Similar in appearance, character, or quality; resembling each other in important ways.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *gelic*, meaning "of the same form or nature," composed of *ge-* (a prefix indicating togetherness or similarity) and *lic* (body or form, from Proto-Germanic *likaz*). The *ge-* prefix eventually fell away in Middle English, leaving *like*, which then took the *a-* prefix in some contexts to form *alike*. The root *lic* also gave us the modern word *like* in its original sense of physical resemblance.
