Do you know if "Environmentology" is really a word?

Answer 1

If your definition of a "word" is if it is in the dictionary...then no. But acceptance into the dictionary is sometimes slower than the speed of a living language. To me a word is that which conveys meaning, is that's the case "environmentlogy's meaning is clear.

It is listed in the enclopedia, although it references the accepted term: Environmental Science.

Answer 2

Just by looking at the word it actually means "Study of the Envrionment". I did go to a website and this was what they had to say:


The Definition of Environmentology

Environmentology is defined as "a systematized science whose purpose is that human beings control their activities suitably in the limited Earth." The following is the reason. The Earth, the basis of our lives, is limited. However, recently human activities have explosively increased, and environmental destruction and pollution have been becoming serious. Also, it is seriously feared that man-made climate changes and the exhaustion of underground resources will happen in the near future. Therefore, we have to control our activities suitably in the limited Earth.

Hope this helps!
