Where Does The Word Geology Come From?

Anonymous answered

You should trust me, the Greek here
γη (Gae) in Greek means "earth" and the word λογος (logos) means "speech"
Literally geology means "to talk about Earth", in scientific meaning - "the study of Earth"

Obviously comes from study of earth!

The answer is very simple. Geology is a type of compound word, made up of two base parts. Part 1 "Geo" meaning something along the lines of "earth, or of the earth" or something like that, and part 2 is "ology" which roughly means "the study of".

If this is not completely accurate, then sorry, I answered off the top of my head.
