There are also people who can't distinguish between entomology and enterology.
General_Effort@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 218d
Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.
@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.
KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 218d
It actually is,
enterology (English) -> entero- (Latin prefix) -> ἔντερον (Greek) -> h₁énteros (PIE) -> intrō (Latin) -> enter (English)
General_Effort@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 218d
Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn't count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.
