peevology

English anthology (calqued in Latin as florilegium) 'a collection of epigrams' < Greek ανθολογια (anthologia). So, philology can only mean 'the study of love'? It means something more along the lines of 'love of words'. Compound words are almost as tricky as any other kind of collocation: ancient history teacher anybody?

—beppo beppino (the grammatical cynic) venerdì

[Derhotacized one word.]
