homogeny

State of uniformity

Homogeny is the state of being homogeneous—uniform in composition, structure, or character throughout.

The term appears in technical contexts where sameness or similarity matters: genetic homogeny among a population, cultural homogeny within a community.

It contrasts with heterogeny, where variety or difference prevails.
