     After introducing herself, the therapist then asked the patient if it would be all right to do the exercises which the doctor had ordered for her. The patient would response, "Well, I don't care to." For several days, the therapist immediately left the room and officially recorded that the patient had "refused" therapy. [...] It was not until months later that this therapist [...] discovered that she should have been interpreting "I don't care to" as "I don't mind" doing those exercises now.

Usage notes

• The sense "to want" is most commonly found as an interrogative or negative sentence, and may take a for clause (would you care for some tea?) or (as a catenative verb) takes a to infinitive (would you care to go with me?). See Appendix:English catenative verbs.

Etymology

From Middle English homage, from Old French homage, hommage, from Medieval Latin hominaticum (“homage, the service of a vassal or 'man'”) and Late Latin homaticum, from Latin homo (“a man, in Medieval Latin a vassal”) + -aticum (“pertaining to”). The American pronunciations in /-???/ and with silent h are due to confusion with the near-synonym hommage, which is indeed pronounced /o??m???/.

Pronunciation

• (Received Pronunciation) IPA^(key): /?h?m?d?/
• (General American) enPR: (h)?m??j, ?-mäj?, IPA^(key): /?(h)?m?d?/, /o??m??/

Noun

homage (countable and uncountable, plural homages)

1. (countable, uncountable) A demonstration of respect, such as towards an individual after their retirement or death
   • 2006, New York Times

     It’s appropriate that we pay homage to them and the sacrifices they made.
2. (countable) An artistic work imitating another in a flattering style. Recently, the pronunciation /o??m???/ has been introduced from French for this usage; see hommage, which preserves the French spelling.
   • 2002, Kevin Williamson, Dawson's Creek (TV, episode 6.01)

     He likes to tell people that it's a Hitchcockian thriller, but that's kind of like saying Happy Gilmore is a homage to Woody Allen.

3. (historical) In feudalism, the formal oath of a vassal to honor his or her lord's rights.

Usage notes

• Often used in the construction pay homage to.
• Because of the different pronunciations, homage is sometimes preceded by the article a and sometimes by an.
