the.com/homogeneity
Everything the same, so nothing's the point of comparison anymore.
means The quality of being uniform throughout, made of the same kind of stuff with no variation from part to part.
from From Greek 'homos' (same) plus 'genos' (kind, race, type) — the same root 'genos' that gives us 'gene' and 'genus'. Medieval Latin stitched them into 'homogeneus,' and English borrowed it whole in the 1600s, originally as a term in philosophy and science for things composed of parts all of one nature.
