Root Explanation

Homogeneity → It is formed from "homo-" (from Greek "homos", meaning same) and "genus" (from Latin, meaning kind or type) and the suffix "-ity" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "homogeneity" refers to the quality of being of the same kind or uniform in composition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'same' ('homo-') and 'kind' ('genus') to remember that 'homogeneity' means the quality of being uniform or of the same kind.
