Scientology = science (opaque) = scient + ology
The form suggests science plus -ology, but the term is a coined proper name for a religion, so its meaning is not compositionally predictable.
Etymology
Scientology is a modern name formed from scient-, like in science, meaning 'knowing', and -ology, meaning 'study of'. L. Ron Hubbard used it for a religion about learning how a person's mind and spirit can heal and grow, so the name helps you remember it is the 'study of knowledge' about the self.
