What is another word for quasi-?
Pronunciation: [kwˈe͡ɪza͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The prefix "quasi-" is used to indicate something that resembles or has similarities to something else, but is not identical. There are several synonyms that can be used in place of "quasi-" to convey the same meaning. Some of these include "almost," "similar to," "resembling," "near," "pseudo," and "virtual." For instance, one might use the term "pseudo-scientific" to describe something that has the appearance of sound scientific practice or methodology, but is not based on empirical evidence or widely-accepted scientific principles. Slightly changing the prefix to "semi-" or "near-" provides a similar idea, such as "semi-professional" or "near-perfect".
