The 'Homo' prefix is greek and it means same. So Homosexual means Same-sexual.
Homicide means the the killing of one human by another. The homi/homo meaning we are from the same species.
Man means Man/Male. So Chairman, Fireman, Policeman, etc are roles of a male. Chair, Firefighter, Police Officer, etc are gender-neutral in the role, as the person being ascribed is not directly assumed as being a male.
