when you hear “i am homesick” as 1 word it means you miss your home.
when you say “i am home sick” as 2 words, it means you are at your house sick
homesick and home sick

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Russian
usually, when people want to say they're sick at home, they say "i'm at home sick", or "i'm sick at home".
saying "i'm homesick" when you're literally sick is a little weird.

It would be hard to find a situation where you could use it as both.
Being home sick (at home) implies you are currently in your home, but home sick (Missing home) implies you are not there. There might be a logical loophole, but it would be very hard to find in this example.
You can not use it as both meanings.

@hoohyeon they both sound the same, the context is how you distinguish it

@hoohyeon
home, sick: , you would hear a slight emphasis on home and a slight pause between words..
homesick: the 2 words connect very quickly together- think of the Korean word for food (음식) - said quite fast.
of course, as with both Korean and English, context will make it very clear what is meant.
