different between homage vs admiration
homage
English
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???/.
