3 Similar The two words share many of the important ideas of their meaning but include slightly different details.

They refer to similar but not identical concepts (e.g., lion-zebra or firefighter-policeman).

2 Slightly similar The two words do not have a very similar meaning, but share a common topic/domain/function and ideasor concepts that are related (e.g., house-window or airplane-pilot).
