Origins

By surface analysis, homin- (“person, man”) + -āticum (noun-forming suffix). Attested no earlier than the eleventh century CE, hence a late creation from which the Gallo-Romance formations were calqued. The attested spelling ⟨hominaticum⟩ is the most etymologically correct, but cf. the alternative forms above, which reflect the Romance affricate /d͡ʒ/ or show the 'wrong' gender (by Classical norms).
