The correct answer is: Study of

The suffix "-ology" originates from the Greek word "logia," meaning "study of." When added to the root of a word, it indicates that the term pertains to a particular field of study or branch of knowledge. For example, "biology" refers to the study of life and living organisms, while "psychology" refers to the study of the mind and behavior. This clear connection between the suffix and its meaning is essential in various scientific and academic fields, helping to categorize and define areas of inquiry. Understanding this suffix can enhance comprehension of medical terminology, as many medical disciplines incorporate "-ology" to denote specific study areas.
