Question
what is the correct etymology of the word homogeneous?
derived from the latin words \homo\ and gene meaning \origin\
derived from the greek words homos meaning \same\ and genos meaning \kind\ or
ace\
derived from the old english words ham meaning \home\ and gen meaning \family\
derived from the french words homme meaning \man\ and gene meaning \birth\
To determine the etymology of "homogeneous", we analyze the roots. "Homo-" (from Greek "homos") means "same", and "-geneous" comes from Greek "genos" meaning "kind" or "race". This matches the second option's description of Greek origins with those meanings. Other options use incorrect language roots (Latin, Old English, French) or mismatched meanings.
