Morphology
homonymous = homonym (semi-transparent) = homo + onym + ous
The suffix '-ous' forms an adjective from the noun 'homonym', indicating a characteristic of having homonyms.
Etymology
Homonymous comes from Greek parts homo- meaning 'same' and onoma meaning 'name', so it literally means 'same name'. That's why homonymous words have the same spelling or sound but different meanings, as in 'bat' the animal and 'bat' for baseball, and you can see the same homo- in homophone, which means 'same sound'.
