Quasi

Word to the Wise: Quasi

“Quasi” (KWAY-zeye) - from the Latin for “as if” - is used as an adjective or prefix meaning “having some resemblance.”

Example (as used by David Kelly in a New York Times review of Audition: A Memoir by Barbara Walters): “This book is so chock-full of news and quasi entertainment that it’s tempting to start quoting some of it, even if out of context.”
