Goralog

/ˈɡɔːrəˌlɑːɡ/ noun

Definition

A catalog or reference work specifically about gorals and other Himalayan fauna; possibly a specialized zoological text.

Etymology

From 'goral' plus '-log' (from 'catalog'), creating a technical or scientific term for a reference work. This appears to be a specialized or coined term rather than a common historical word.

Kelly Says

Scientific naming like 'goralog' reveals how specialists create jargon on the fly—it's clear what the word means even if you've never seen it before, showing how English's flexible word-building lets scientists extend vocabulary infinitely!
