Models refer to various objects, structures, or representations that depict or exemplify something else. Synonyms for models could be examples, patterns, blueprints, templates, prototypes, and mock-ups. An example is a specific instance that represents a larger group or idea, while a pattern refers to a recurring form or design. Blueprints and templates are both pre-designed plans or structures that can be replicated or modified. Prototypes and mock-ups are three-dimensional or physical models that serve as proof-of-concepts or representational models. In addition to these synonyms, models could also refer to role models, fashion models, or mathematical models. Regardless of the context, models serve as visual aids or tools for understanding, replicating, or refining ideas or concepts.
