Help!

I have been wondering for a while now where the term 'spitting image' came from. I know what it means and in which context to use it but what confuses me is why the word 'spitting' is included. Surely if two people spit it is not going to look the same. Especially if i have just eaten a Mars bar, and you have been drinking water for a few days.

I would really like some closure on this if anyone can help.
