homoeopathy

/hˌoʊmiˈoʊpəθi/ noun

Alternative spelling of homeopathy.

Word Origin From Greek homoios 'like, similar' and pathos 'suffering, disease' — so homoeopathy is literally 'similar suffering,' the idea of treating a disease with a substance that produces similar symptoms. The same pathos root gives us sympathy (suffering with), empathy (suffering in), and apathy (without suffering). The variant spelling 'homeopathy' is more common.
