====Usage notes====
The word {{m|nl||homo}} is a general, neutral and somewhat informal term for a homosexual person. It is used as a slur by some, but the term, or its use in this way, can be considered offensive. Because the word itself is not inherently offensive or vulgar, some people may take offense at the implication that homosexuality is something negative and shameful that could be used as a derogatory term. This depends, of course, on a particular person's attitude towards homosexuality. Compare similar usage of English {{m|en|gay}}.

===Etymology===
{{etymon|la|id=human|title=homō|from|la>hemō>human}}
From earlier {{m|la|hemō}}, from {{inh|la|itc-pro|*hemō}}, from {{inh|la|ine-pro|*ǵʰmṓ|*ǵʰm̥mṓ|earthling}}, from {{m|ine-pro|*dʰéǵʰōm||earth}}, whence {{cog|la|humus}}. Cognates include {{cog|olt|žmuõ||man}}, {{cog|got|𐌲𐌿𐌼𐌰}} and {{cog|ang|guma||man}}. See also {{m|la|nēmō||no one}}, from {{m|itc-pro|*ne hemō}}.

The phenomenon of a derivational relationship between the words for both {{m|en|earth}} and {{m|en|man}} is also seen in Semitic languages: Hebrew {{m|he|אָדָם||man|tr=adám}}, {{m|he|אֲדָמָה||soil|tr=adamá}}.

===Pronunciation===
* {{la-IPA|homō̆}}
* Note: [[iambic shortening]] of the final vowel before a following (primarily or secondarily) stressed syllable is very common, but in hexameter poetry this variation may simply have been lexicalised as arbitrary license.

====Usage notes====
*  ''Homō'' has the basic sense of "human being"<ref>Santoro L'Hoir, Francesca (1992) ''The Rhetoric of Gender Terms: 'man', 'woman', and the Portrayal of Character in Latin Prose,'' page 159</ref> and is often used generically to mean “Man” or “men” in the broad sense of "humanity", encompassing both male and female human beings. It is not typically used to specify or emphasize male as opposed to female sex: the usual terms to express “man” in the sense “male” are {{m|la|vir|t=adult male human being}} or {{m|la|mās|t=male}}.  There are rare examples in early Latin of ''homō'' being used in contrast to an explicitly female term such as {{m|la|mulier|t=woman}}, such as Plautus ''Cistellaria'' 723, but this only becomes frequent in late Latin.<ref>{{cite-journal|last=Adams|first=J. N.|title=Latin Words for 'Woman' and 'Wife'|journal=Glotta|volume=50|issue=3./4.|year=1972|page=247}}</ref>
* When referring to specific human beings, {{m|la||homō}} is more often applied to male rather than female persons in the corpus of ancient Latin texts. For Romans, the use of {{m|la||homō}} versus {{m|la|vir}} when referring to a male human being was influenced by the differing social connotations of the two words: {{m|la|vir}} tends to be reserved as a positive designation for men of the Roman upper class, whereas the more generic term ''homō'' is frequently used to refer to men of lower social orders or foreigners,<ref>Santoro L'Hoir (1992), page 2</ref> and also to refer to upper class men in contexts where the positive connotations of {{m|la|vir}} would be out of place. For example, ''homō'' rather than {{m|la|vir}} tends to be used by Cicero in connection with pejorative adjectives.<ref>Santoro L'Hoir (1992), page 10</ref> There seems to have been a similar distinction in social connotation between {{m|la|mulier|t=woman}}, the general word for 'woman' that could be used in neutral or negative contexts, and {{m|la|fēmina|t=female, woman}}, which had positive, aristocratic overtones when used as a designation for a woman.<ref>Santoro L'Hoir (1992), pages 32-33</ref>
* ''Homō'' is claimed to be of common ([[epicene]]) gender by several grammarians, albeit with limited external supporting evidence - see quotations. When used with a modifier and referring to a woman, nevertheless agrees in the masculine gender (like {{m+|de|Mensch}}, {{m+|ru|челове́к}}) ([[w:Charisius|Charisius]], GL I, p.102.20–103.1 = pp.130.19–31.2 B.).
