Origin

• From Latin homēricus ("of or pertaining to Homer; Homeric"), from Ancient Greek Ὁμηρικός, from Ὅμηρος (possibly from ὅμηρος, a nickname) + -ῐκός (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-kos ("suffix forming adjectives denoting ‘characteristic of, typical of, pertaining to’")); analysable as Homer + -ic.
