Quasi

Quasi is a Latin term that is often used in civil law (usually prefixed to English words),  that means, “as if.”  Quasi shows the resemblance as well as supposes some distinction between two objects.  In legal parlance, quasi has been used towards showing that one subject has a resemblance in certain aspects to another with which it is compared, but also that both are having material as well as intrinsic differences among them.  Quasi has been used and taken to be meant as, in a certain sense, nearly, resembling, seemingly but not actually.  Back.
