Analogies

Analogy is just a term that means

"word relationships".

Analogies are sometimes formatted as follows:

[word 1] : [word 2] : : [word 3] : [word 4]

In this analogy format, : reads "is to" and : : reads "as"

This means that

water : liquid : : ice : solid

is read as

water is to liquid as ice is to solid.
