Homorganic segment is a segment which has the same place of articulation as a neigbouring segment.

Example

in the English word input, pronounced as [imput], the nasal /n/ has changed from dental to labial under the influence of the following /p/; [m] and [p] are homorganic: they are both bilabial.
