Morphology
homogenic = homo (semi-transparent) = homo + gen + ic
Formed from the combining form 'homo-' (same) with a root meaning 'origin' and the adjective suffix '-ic'; the pieces yield 'same origin' but these combining forms are not fully familiar to an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Homogenic comes from two Greek parts: homo- meaning 'same' and -genic meaning 'from one source', as in the word generate. So, something homogenic is all of the 'same origin' or the same kind, which is why scientists use it for uniform samples or groups.
