This word was encounter in the “Walk with Me” article by David L. Ulin which states ” The Statue of liberty has never made me feel at home, either in New York Harbor or on La Vegas Boulevard, where it stood squat and compressed as I drove past, a facsimile in incremental scale”. This was located on the first page, second paragraph,last sentence.

When I viewed the word I knew I have heard of the word but really didn’t understand the full  meaning of it. This word is usually used to describe books or even paper material. What this mean is that its exact copy. For example most people make an exact copy of graphs to do some type of research.
