meteorologyn.

Brit.

/ˌmiːtɪəˈrɒlədʒi/, U.S.

/ˌmidiəˈrɑlədʒi/

Forms: 1500s–1600s meteorologie, 1600s– meteorology, 1900s– meterology (irregular).

Origin: A borrowing from Greek. Etymon: Greek μετεωρολογία.

Etymology: < ancient Greek μετεωρολογία the study of celestial and meteorological phenomena < μετεωρο- meteoro- comb. form + -λογία -logy comb. form. Compare Middle French meteorologie (1548), Italian meteorologia (1542), post-classical Latin meteorologia (1512). Compare earlier meteorologer n.The reduced form meterology probably reflects the corresponding pronunciation (compare similar forms s.v. meteorological adj., meteorologist n.).

1. The branch of science that deals with atmospheric phenomena and processes, esp. with a view to forecasting the weather.
