Algaeological

/ˌælɡiːəˈlɑːdʒɪkəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the study of algae, particularly in scientific, geological, or environmental research contexts.

Etymology

Derived from 'algaeology' (the study of algae) + '-ical' suffix. 'Algae' + Greek 'logos' (study) + '-ical' (relating to).

Kelly Says

Algaeological is a perfectly constructed scientific word that almost nobody uses because we don't have a common field called algaeology—it's a word waiting for its discipline to be invented!
