LIFELORE. “Biology derives from the Ancient Greek words of βίος romanized bíos meaning ‘life’ and -λογία; romanized -logía meaning ‘branch of study’ or ‘to speak’. Those combined make the Greek word βιολογία romanized biología meaning ‘biology’. Despite this, the term βιολογία as a whole didn’t exist in Ancient Greek. The first to borrow it was the English and French (biologie). Historically there was another term for biology in English, lifelore; it is rarely used today.”
