The term homosocial is now used to describe single-sex contexts that are not specifically sexual. The prevalence of the concept owes much to the work of the German psychiatrist Richard Freiherr von Krafft-Ebing and his 1886 work Psychopathia Sexualis. However, as with ethnic slurs and racial slurs, the misuse of these terms can still be highly offensive; the range of acceptable use depends on the context and speaker. The adjective homosexual describes behavior, relationships, people, etc. There is also a word referring to same-sex love, homophilia. Etymologically, the word homosexual is a Greek and Latin hybrid with homo (often confused with the later Latin meaning of "man", as in homo sapiens) deriving from the Greek prefix homo- ("same"), and the Latin root sex. Beginning in the 1990s, some of these have been "reclaimed" as positive words by gay men and lesbians,.
