It derives from ομόλογο (omologo) meaning ''of the same - or similar characteristics''

---------------

homologous =`ομόλογος [homo-logos] < 'ομό- + λόγος

'ομό- (homo- prefix from `όμοιος) = same- similar- (homo-erotic, homeo- morphism)

λόγος = ratio (word, speech, reason)

So, homologous=of the same ratio, of the same word, some/thing/one that agrees

Antonym: αντίλογος antilogos (antilogy)
