The absence of proper logical reasoning or systematic study; a dismissal of logical analysis.
From Greek 'a-' (without) combined with '-ology' (study, from 'logos' meaning reason or word), literally meaning 'without study' or 'without reason.'
This word is the ultimate insult in academic circles—claiming someone practices 'acology' means they're ignoring reason itself, which is perhaps the harshest criticism you can level at an intellectual.
