      n. a word used in the entertainment industry to mean a respectful reference or tribute to someone or something else in the industry; for example, a remake film might make an hommage to the original.
      The word is pronounced oe-MAZH. Originally the word was one and the same as [homage] (pronounced OM-ij or HOM-ij), but filmmakers started thinking this word (homage) was borrowed from French (which it is not), and wanted to sound sophisticated or more accurate, so they started pronouncing it as though it were French. When the people tasked with writing things down realized you couldnt spell the sound oe-MAZH as homage, they wisely decided to use the French version of the word (hommage), and thus filmmakers avoided scathing ridicule for not knowing how to pronounce an honest English word.
