'agronomics' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'agronomia,' where 'agro-' meant 'field' and 'nomos' meant 'law or management.'

'agronomia' transformed into the French word 'agronomie,' and eventually became the modern English word 'agronomics' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'management of fields,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the science of agriculture.'
