I was reading about regions in my global cultures class, and I cam across a word that I was unfamiliar with so I looked it up. The word was homogeneous, and it means of the same kind or essentially alike. Later I was talking to my advisor about it, who is also the latin teacher, and she said that she thought that that word comes from a latin root. I later looked the word up again and found out that homogeneous comes from medieval latin. After learning about how this word relates to latin I learned that things I learn in different subjects relate back to latin. I think that knowing that homogeneous comes from a latin root it helps me to understand the word more fully. Learning latin will help me in the future when I have questions about vocabulary.
