Bibliotics

/ˌbɪb.liˈɒt.ɪks/ noun

Definition

The study or practice of devotion to books; the collective behaviors and interests of book lovers.

Etymology

From bibliotic + -ics, a suffix creating nouns for fields of study or systematic practices. This follows the pattern of other -ics words (like 'linguistics' or 'athletics') to describe organized knowledge domains.

Kelly Says

This word represents an entire imagined academic discipline devoted to understanding why humans become obsessed with books—it's like having a name for 'the science of being a bookworm.'
