-logy is a suffix in English, found in words originally adapted from Greek words ending in -????a (-logia). The earliest English examples were anglicizations of the French -logie, which was in turn inherited from the Latin -logia.[1] It has two main senses in English[2] In words of the type theology, the suffix is derived originally from -???- (-log-) (a variant of -?e?-, -leg-), from the Greek verb ???e?? (legein, "to speak").[3] The suffix has the sense of "the character or department of one who speaks or treats of [a certain subject]", or more succinctly, "the study of [a certain subject]".[4] In words of the type trilogy, the suffix is derived originally from the Greek noun ????? (logos, "speech").[5] The suffix has the sense of "[a certain kind of] speaking or writing".[6]
