facsimile
Precise reproduction made
A facsimile is an exact copy or reproduction of something, especially a document, manuscript, or work of art: a facsimile of the Declaration of Independence.
The word emphasizes precise duplication rather than mere imitation.
Fax machines, which transmit document images electronically, take their name from this word—fax being a clipped form of facsimile.
