'homograft' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'homo-' meaning 'same' and 'graft' from 'grafton' meaning 'to insert.'

'homograft' was derived from the Greek word 'homos' meaning 'same' and the English word 'graft,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'homograft.'

Initially, it meant 'a graft from the same species,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
