my favorite words that I learned were the ones that end in ology. I learned that ornithology, lepidoptery, ichthyology, and herpetology are all under the Zoology category since they all involve animals. Words that end in ology have very cool job professions like Vexillologists are people that study flags. You never expect for that to be a real profession, right? Ludology is the study of video games and bromatology is the study of food. Researching these words are so interesting because you never expect what the actual “study of” is.
