"Like" is a very prolific word. It can be a verb, or it can form a comparison, as illustrated by these sentences beloved by linguistics students:

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana. (Corrected.)

(Which also illustrate oddities with "time" and "flies", but that's not the topic of this disquisitiion.)

"Like" is also a prolific combiner: likely, likeness, unlike, dislike, childlike, likewise, ...

And clearly, in its non-verbal sense, it's related to the German "-lich".

But "like" is so common that a search on the site refuses to respond. The other forms shown here appear in commentary but not as topics.

Time flies like a banana.

I think that should be:

Fruit flies like a banana.

Thank you, Audiendus. You listen carefully.
