technology = techn + ology
Although the word contains classical elements related to skill/art and study, the modern meaning 'the use of scientific knowledge to create tools or methods' is not directly recoverable from those parts for most learners.
Etymology
Technology comes from the Greek word techne, meaning 'craft' or 'skill', plus -logy, meaning 'study' or 'word', and you can see the same tech in technique and the short word tech. So, technology is the skills and knowledge we use to make tools, machines, and methods that solve problems.
