Yesterday’s word

The word homologate means “to approve officially – especially a car, engine, etc, for sale in a particular market or for its use in racing”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1600s

Background / Comments

From the definition, it seems that people familiar with racing cars might know our word. It came from the Latin word homologare (to agree), which came from the Greek word homologein (to agree or allow).
