🎤Pronunciation
🌳Etymology
Origin
The word derives from Greek 'tekhnē' (craft, skill, art) and 'logos' (study, discourse), which combined to form 'technology' meaning the study of crafts or techniques. The adjective form 'technological' was created by adding the suffix '-ical', a common English adjective-forming suffix derived from Latin.
Breakdown
tekhnē (craft, skill) + logos (study, discourse) + -ical (adjective-forming suffix). The base 'technology' represents the fusion of Greek roots, with '-ical' converting it to adjectival form.
