Morphology
homoeroticism = homoerotic (transparent) = homo + erotic + ism
The noun is a regular nominalization (-ism) of the adjective 'homoerotic', so the meaning is predictable from the base adjective.
Etymology
Homoeroticism joins the first part homo- meaning 'same', the middle part erot- from Greek 'eros' meaning 'desire' or 'love', and the ending -ism meaning a 'style' or 'idea', like in romanticism. So homoeroticism refers to sexual attraction or to art and writing that show desire between people of the same sex.
