OP autotelic: being an end in itself
auxology: science of growth

awn: beard or similar bristly growth on stalk of grain
azoth: alchemical name for mercury
bacchanal: drunkard; reveller
bactericide: killer of bacteria
badinage: playful repartee or banter
bahadur: self-important official
bakelite: type of solid plastic
balbutient: stammering
balistarius: crossbowman
