Morphology
philology = philo + logy
Although it contains the classical elements 'philo-' and '-logy', the meaning 'study of language and literature' is not directly predictable for an average learner from these parts alone.
Etymology
The word philology comes from Greek parts philo- 'love' and -logy 'study', like the -logy in biology. So philology is literally a 'love of words', and it means the study of language and literature, especially their history.
