FACSIMILE Meaning and
Definition
-
A facsimile refers to an exact duplicate, reproduction, or replica of an original document, artwork, or object. This term commonly applies to copies that are made for scholarly, historical, or archival purposes. In essence, a facsimile aims to capture the precise details, characteristics, and appearance of the original item.
In the context of documents, a facsimile typically refers to a fax, which is a telephonic transmission of a document or image from one location to another. By utilizing a fax machine or digital faxing service, the sender can transmit a physical document over phone lines, which is then received and printed at the recipient's location. This allows for the rapid exchange of written information, particularly in business settings.
Facsimiles have also been utilized extensively in the field of fine arts, particularly for reproductions of intricate historical manuscripts, books, and paintings. By meticulously recreating each visual aspect of the original, facsimiles serve as valuable resources for researchers and art enthusiasts, allowing them to closely study and appreciate these works without endangering the originals.
Overall, whether referring to faxed documents or scholarly replicas, a facsimile is an exact replica that preserves the characteristics and details of the original item, serving as a reliable and accessible representation of the original for various purposes.

Etymology of FACSIMILE
The word "facsimile" is derived from Latin, with "fac simile" meaning "make similar". "Fac" comes from the Latin verb "facere", which means "to make or do", and "simile" is the neuter form of the adjective "similis", meaning "similar or like".
