Etymology
Eschatologically comes from an old Greek root eschatos, meaning 'last', plus -logy which means 'study' or 'word' and is the same -logy you see in biology and geology. So to speak eschatologically is to talk 'about the last things' or 'about the end' and the final destiny of people or the world.
