Etymology
Ontology comes from the Greek parts onto- meaning 'being' and -logy meaning 'study', the same -logy you see in biology. In computer science an ontology is a clear list of the things that exist in a topic and how they are connected, so the name reminds us it is a 'study of what exists' that helps organise knowledge.
