different between homage vs pastiche

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??/

     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)

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