What is what does semblance means?

Semblance means an outward appearance that is different from the deeper reality or true nature of something. It refers to a resemblance or similarity in form, image, or character. The word can also be used to describe an impression or perception of something, which may or may not be accurate. Semblance can be used to describe both physical and abstract concepts, such as semblance of justice, semblance of order, or semblance of beauty. In literature, authors often use semblance to create a sense of mystery or ambiguity, by presenting characters or events that have a deceptive appearance.
