Morphology
hominess = homey (opaque) = home + iness
The meaning of 'plain or unattractive' is not transparently derived from 'homey', indicating a shift in sense.
Etymology
Hominess can also come from homely 'plain, ordinary'; a helpful way to remember this is that 'homely' suggests something like a simple home, not fancy, so hominess can mean plain or unattractive looks as well.
