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???/.

Pronunciation

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

Noun

homage (countable and uncountable, plural homages)

    • 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.
