Doppelgänger
In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger or doppelga(e)nger ( or ; , literally "double-goer") is a look-alike or double of a living person, sometimes portrayed as a paranormal phenomenon, and in some traditions as a harbinger of bad luck. In other traditions and stories, they recognize your 'double-goer' as an evil twin.
The word ''doppelgänger'' is often used in a more general sense to describe any person who physically or behaviorally resembles another person.
==Spelling==
The word ''doppelgänger'' is a loanword from German ''Doppelgänger'', consisting of the two substantives ''Doppel'' (double) ''Gänger'' (walker or goer).〔''New Oxford American Dictionary'', 2nd Edition, 2005.〕〔(Doppelgänger; Orthography, Meaning Synonyms ) http://www.duden.de.〕 The singular and plural form are the same in German, but English usually prefers the plural "doppelgängers." It was first used by Jean Paul in the novel ''Siebenkäs'' (1796), and his newly coined word is explained by a footnote.
As is true for all other common nouns in German, the word is written with an initial capital letter. In English, the word is conventionally uncapitalized (doppelgänger). It is also common to drop the diacritic umlaut, writing "doppelganger."
