rem-i-NISNT/ˌremɪˈnɪsnt/

Reminiscent means making you think of something (reminiscent of): reminiscent of last year. Evocative is a close twin; resemblance (already in the dictionary) is the noun of looking like. Recycled methods are not a new paper.

Meaning

Making you think of a particular person, thing, or time (reminiscent of).

Examples

• “Copy reminiscent of last year’s n is not a new paper.”
• “Evocative is the close twin. Resemblance is already in this course (the noun). Nostalgia is feeling. A prior n is a citation risk. Cite or change the count; do not perfume the reuse.”
