means The scientific study of insects — their biology, behavior, classification, and how they interact with the world around them.

from From Greek 'entomon,' meaning 'insect' — itself from 'entomos,' 'cut into pieces,' a nod to the segmented, pinched-in bodies that give insects their notched silhouette (en-, 'in,' plus temnein, 'to cut'). Aristotle is credited with applying 'entoma' to these cut-up creatures. The '-logy' is the familiar Greek 'logia,' 'study of.' Worth guarding against its near-twin 'etymology,' the study of word origins — same '-logy,' but a different root entirely (Greek 'etymon,' 'true sense').
