The lie your face tells about who made you.
means A likeness or similarity between two things, especially the way one person's face or traits echo another's.
from From French resemblance, from resembler ('to be like'), built from re- (intensive, 'again and again') plus sembler ('to seem, to appear'), which traces back to Latin simulare ('to make similar, to imitate') — itself rooted in similis, 'like.' So the word's bones are literally about seeming alike, repeated — a face that keeps seeming like another face, again and again, until you call it family.
