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

'agros' transformed into the French word 'agrologie,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agrology' through adaptation.

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