Fosslology

/fɒˈsɪlɒlədʒi/ noun

Definition

A misspelling or non-standard variant of fossilology; not standard in modern English.

Etymology

This appears to be a typographical error of 'fossilology,' incorrectly dropping one 's' from the double-s in 'fossil'.

Kelly Says

This variant shows how compound words built on 'fossil' can go wrong if we're not careful with double letters—'fossil' + 'logy' becomes 'fossilology,' not 'fosslology,' reminding us that dictionary spelling matters!
