Morphology
homophobic = homophobia (transparent) = homo + phobia + ic
Adjectival suffix '-ic' is added to the noun 'homophobia', so the adjective's meaning is directly derived from that base.
Etymology
Homophobic comes from two parts: homo- meaning 'same', as in homosexual, and -phobic from phobia meaning 'fear' or 'strong dislike'. So, homophobic means having a 'fear' or unfair dislike of people of the same sex, which explains its use for prejudice against gay people.
