'homegrown' originates from the combination of 'home' and 'grown', where 'home' refers to one's place of residence and 'grown' is the past participle of 'grow', meaning 'to cultivate or produce'.

'homegrown' has remained relatively unchanged in its form and meaning since its inception in the English language.

Initially, it meant 'grown at home', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
