synonym for
imitate
emulate
verb
[
em
-y
uh
-leyt ]
emulate
is another word for
imitate
To
imitate
someone or something is to follow that person or thing as a model or example. In some cases,
imitate
means simply “to mimic,” as mischievous schoolchildren might a teacher behind their back. The verb
emulate
suggests more purposeful action and striving: this verb means “to try to equal or excel” or sometimes “to rival with some degree of success.” If a child
emulates
their father as a concert violinist, it means they are imitating him with effort to equal or surpass his accomplishments or skill. The competitive spirit of
emulate
gives this verb a clear edge over
imitate
when ambition is at play.
Commonly found as
try to emulate
Early in the author's career, he
tried to emulate
his favorite writers.
emulate + success
The small company hoped to
emulate
the
success
of
the leading manufacturer by recruiting the best employees and working more efficiently.
