Root Explanation

Homogenization → It is formed from "homo-" (from Greek "homos", meaning same) and "genus" (from Latin, meaning kind or type) and the suffix "-ization" (meaning the process of making). The word refers to the process of making things uniform or the same in composition or character.

Memory Tip

Think of 'same' ('homo-') and 'kind' ('genus') coming together in a process ('-ization') to create uniformity.
