Etymology
'agrogeological' originates from the combination of 'agro-' from Greek 'agros' meaning 'field' and 'geological' from Greek 'ge' meaning 'earth' and 'logos' meaning 'study'.
'Agrogeological' was formed by combining 'agro-' and 'geological' to describe the intersection of agriculture and geology.
Initially, it meant 'study of fields and earth,' and it has evolved to specifically refer to the geological aspects of agriculture.
