Answer:
Iconicity is a relationship of resemblance or similarity between the two aspects of a sign: its form and its meaning.
An iconic sign is one whose form resembles its meaning in some way.
Explanation: A road sign that marks a bicycle lane and has an image of bicycle on it is iconic because the form of the sign, in particular the graphic image on it, is related in a direct way to its meaning; both form and meaning have to do with bicycles.
