The "-logy" comes from Greek which means science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-logy and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-%CE%BB%CE%BF%CE%B3%CE%AF%CE%...

What about Scientology which has both science and ology? Is it science science?

  • I think that's like a double negative. Which would imply that Scientology actually IS science, which is ridiculous of course. I think "science" in the title only means "not science" when conveyed in the language you're currently using.

  • A common misconception! It's actually the science of the color cyan, but people kept mispronouncing "Cyantology". ;)
