Which term describes words in two different languages that look alike, sound alike, and means the same thing.

Answer: loan-words

Explanation: A loan-word is a word taken from a language called source, unchanged and added to another language called target. These words have the same appearance, sound and meaning in both languages. Normally they are words that correspond to activities of international use or new technologies, such as the word "stop" which is used in many languages with the same meaning in traffic signals.
