'agrology' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'agros,' meaning 'field,' and 'logia,' meaning 'study of.'

'agros' and 'logia' combined to form the French word 'agrologie,' which eventually became the modern English word 'agrology.'

Initially, it meant 'study of fields,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'branch of soil science dealing with crop production.'
