1. 1分身(長相極像某名人的人;台灣常說「某某分身」)

    A lookalike is a person who looks very much like someone famous — a singer, an actor, a politician. People hire Elvis lookalikes, or point at a stranger and say she’s a total lookalike of that film star. The fame is part of how the word is usually used; for two ordinary friends who happen to match, we more often say they look alike (two words) or they could be twins. You will also see lookalike as an adjective: a lookalike contest, lookalike photos. Spelling varies: lookalike, look-alike, look alike. The person-noun is the one in the dictionary here. It can be playful; it can also be slightly if you reduce someone to a copy of a celebrity.

組成look + alike (“in the same way”). First a phrase, look alike, then squeezed into one word for the person.
