Orismology

Orismology is when you study the words that people use and how they use them. Think of it like a dictionary. You look up the meaning of words and figure out how they are used and why they are used in different contexts. For example, if you want to know what a “chef” does, you can look the word up in an orismology book and learn about the history of the term and how it has been used in different contexts.
