Root Explanation

Homologation → It is formed from "homo-" (from Greek "homos", meaning same) and "logon" (from Greek "logos", meaning word or reason). The term refers to the process of confirming or approving something as being the same or equivalent to a standard.

Memory Tip

Think of 'same' ('homo-') and 'word' or 'reason' ('logos') to remember that homologation means confirming something as equivalent to a standard.
