Morphology
geology = geo + logy
The meaning is fairly recoverable as 'study of the earth', but the word is built from learned classical forms rather than everyday English words.
Etymology
The word geology comes from the Greek parts geo- meaning 'earth' and -logy meaning 'study', like in geography. So geology is the 'study of the Earth', which is why geologists look at rocks, layers and the planet's history.
