"homology" meaning in English

See homology in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: homologies [plural]
Etymology: From homo- + -logy. In topology, first used by French polymath Henri Poincaré, in the sense (close to what is now called a bordism) of a relation between manifolds mapped into a reference manifold: that is, the property of such manifolds that they form the boundary of a higher-dimensional manifold inside the reference manifold. Poincaré's version was eventually replaced by the more general singular homology, which is what mathematicians now mean by homology.
