Definition
The study of festivals, celebrations, or festive traditions; a scholarly field examining festival culture and practice.
Etymology
From 'fest' or 'festival' (Latin 'festivus') combined with 'logy' (from Greek 'logos' meaning study or discourse). This is a constructed modern term for an emerging academic discipline.
Kelly Says
Festology is a real academic field studying why humans celebrate—and it's booming because scholars realized that parties and traditions reveal what cultures value most deeply.
