Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the noun sense is "the state of being uniform throughout in kind or composition", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as homogeneous and homogenize. Its semantic neighborhood includes homogeneity, uniformity, sameness, and consistency, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Ancient Greek homós and Ancient Greek génos. ## Topics - Describing People - Word Formation & Derivatives markdown
