Usage notes

 * Homō has the basic sense of "human being" and is often used generically to mean “Man” or “men” in the broad sense of "humanity", encompassing both male and female human beings. It is not typically used to specify or emphasize male as opposed to female sex: the usual terms to express “man” in the sense “male” are or .  There are rare examples in early Latin of homō being used in contrast to an explicitly female term such as, such as Plautus Cistellaria 723, but this only becomes frequent in late Latin.
 * When referring to specific human beings, is more often applied to male rather than female persons in the corpus of ancient Latin texts. For Romans, the use of  versus  when referring to a male human being was influenced by the differing social connotations of the two words:  tends to be reserved as a positive designation for men of the Roman upper class, whereas the more generic term homō is frequently used to refer to men of lower social orders or foreigners, and also to refer to upper class men in contexts where the positive connotations of  would be out of place. For example, homō rather than  tends to be used by Cicero in connection with pejorative adjectives. There seems to have been a similar distinction in social connotation between, the general word for 'woman' that could be used in neutral or negative contexts, and , which had positive, aristocratic overtones when used as a designation for a woman.
 * Homō is claimed to be of common (epicene) gender by several grammarians, albeit with limited external supporting evidence - see quotations. When used with a modifier and referring to a woman, nevertheless agrees in the masculine gender (like, ) (Charisius, GL I, p.102.20–103.1 = pp.130.19–31.2 B.).
