HIPPOLOGY

PRONUNCIATION: (hi-POL-uh-jee)

MEANING: noun: The study of horses.

ETYMOLOGY: From Greek hippo- (horse) + -logy (study). Ultimately from the Indo-European root ekwo- (horse), which also gave us equestrian, equitant, hippocampus, hippogriff, and the name Philip (lover of horses). Earliest documented use: 1854.
