字源：c.1290, from O.Fr. homage "allegiance or respect for one's feudal
lord," from homme "man," from L. homo (gen. hominis)

homage這個字的來源，最早是拉丁文homo指的是"人"的意思(不過homo現在在口語中指的

，而現代則是指"尊敬;敬意"

ps. homeo-(like; similar)是個Greek的字根，它是從希臘字的 homos(same)來的，另外

下下唷。

書面語比口語往往更加一致。



ps.1 如果你讀過工程數學之類的(沒有就跳過這段吧)，你可能會學過"2nd Order
Linear Homogeneous Differential Equation"，還記得什麼是homogeneous equation嗎!

其實就像是 a(x)y'' + b(x)y' + c(x)y =0 的方程式，特徵是等於0

之所以稱為homogeneous是因為不管前面的方程式長成什麼鬼樣，最後都等於0

看起來每個都是"同種的"，所以才有homogeneous的稱呼

ps.2 這個Knan網站很好玩唷，有許多的數學、物理教學，而且非常詳細。xination聽的
不亦樂乎阿，去瞧瞧吧。youtube的頻道頁，homepage.
