  1. Quality of being lifelike.
    • 2013, Dominic Gregory, Showing, Sensing, and Seeming, page 161:
      That last conception of realism is certainly not the same as the notion of lifelikeness. Some of Magritte's paintings are very lifelike, for example, even though they do not show the sorts of scenes which one would ever actually encounter.
