What does like disslove mean?

"Like dissolves like" is a principle of chemistry that states that substances with similar chemical structures will dissolve into each other more readily than substances with dissimilar chemical structures. For example, polar solvents like water will dissolve polar substances like sugar, while non-polar solvents like oil will dissolve non-polar substances like grease. This principle is commonly used in the separation and purification of chemical compounds, as well as in the formulation of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
