From the Latin similitudo, “resemblance”, simile is a figure of speech that compares images, things, people and situations using adverbs of comparison or adverbial phrases (as, similar to, resembling).
For instance: he is as sly as a fox. If it had been “he is a fox” to express the same meaning, it would have been a metaphor.
He is just like his car, or rather, his car is just like him. An example of visual simile.
