Hominatio is spelled hoh-muh-ney-shoh with the IPA phonetic transcription. This Latin word means "a bidding farewell" or "leave-taking". It is derived from the word "hominare", which means "to honor or bid farewell". One way to remember the spelling of this word is to break it down into smaller parts. "Homin" means "human" and "atio" means "action or process". Therefore, "hominatio" can be thought of as "the process of bidding farewell to a human".
