Analogous is an adjective meaning corresponding, yet often dissimilar. In Biology, the term analogous structures refers to structures in different organisms that serve the same function, yet evolved in different ways. An example of this would be bird wings, insect wings, and bat wings. They all are used to fly, yet they achieve flight in different ways.
