Today’s word of the day is “simulacrum“, which is a superficial likeness or representation of something.

Did you know: There is a similarity between simulacrum and simulate. Both words come from simulare, a Latin verb meaning “to copy, represent, or feign.” Simulacrum is the name for an image or representation, and simulate means “to look, feel, or behave like something.”
