Orismology
Orismology is a subject that involves the defining or explaining of technical terminology. Many examples of orismology can be found in encyclopedias such as Wikipedia. Orismology which looks also at the history of the word and its origins, should not be confused with Terminology, which is more focused on the current and immediate interpretation of the word. Seymour B. Elk wrote significantly using the term orismology in a series of articles in the Journal of Chemical Information and Computational Sciences. The Oxford English Dictionary provides examples of the use of the term in books, but makes clear the term is obsolete. For example, the drug name penicillin was coined by Alexander Fleming from the Latin for paintbrush which is ''penicillus.'' Methicillin'','' a type of penicillin, gained its name by attaching the stem -cillin from the United States Adopted Names Council's list of stems to a prefix "meth" which has no inherent meaning. The study of penicillin and methicillin individually would be an etymological study of terminology. However, the study of methicillin as its name derived from penicillin historically might best be described as orismologic.
