homosexual 同性戀的
homo-,相同的，sex,性別。即同性別的，后來(lái)被心理學(xué)家用來(lái)指同性戀，并逐漸代替sexual inversion.值得指出的是，該詞本身在過(guò)去長(zhǎng)期不為其它心理學(xué)家所接受，認(rèn)為這個(gè)杜撰出來(lái)的詞沒(méi)有準(zhǔn)確傳達(dá)出同性戀這一詞義。

- homosexual (adj.)
- 1892, in C.G. Chaddock's translation of Krafft-Ebing's "Psychopathia Sexualis," from German homosexual, homosexuale (by 1880, in Gustav J?ger), from homo-, comb. form of Greek homos "same" (see homo- (1)) + Latin-based sexual.
"Homosexual" is a barbarously hybrid word, and I claim no responsibility for it. It is, however, convenient, and now widely used. "Homogenic" has been suggested as a substitute. [H. Havelock Ellis, "Studies in Psychology," 1897]
Sexual inversion (1883) was an earlier clinical term for it in English. The noun is recorded by 1895. In technical use, either male or female; but in non-technical use almost always male. Slang shortened form homo first attested 1929. See also uranian.
