-logy - Usage
Although technically incorrect, "-ology" is sometimes used to describe a subject rather than the study of it. Technology is a typical example. This usage is also widespread in medicine; for example, pathology is often used for specific disease ("We have not found the pathology yet").
"Ology" can be appended to any word, humorously, when describing its study; such as beer-ology or Wiki-ology.
There are a few irregular exceptions to the ending "-ologist"; for example theology/theologian.
A famous British television commercial of the 1980s has a Jewish student calling his grandmother (played by Maureen Lipman) to confirm his exam results. He is disappointed that he has only passed Sociology, but his grandmother will have none of it. "Anthony," she insists, "if you get an ology, you're a scientist!"
The term "Ology" is often used, perjoratively, to indicate that a subject is a [[pseudo-science], and does not meet the same standards of rigour as more hard sciences such as Physics as Chemistry.
