单词 pedology
释义

pedologyn.

Brit. /pᵻˈdɒlədʒi/, /pɛˈdɒlədʒi/, U.S. /pəˈdɑlədʒi/
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a Russian lexical item. Etymons: pedo- comb. form2, -logy comb. form.
Etymology: < pedo- comb. form2 + -logy comb. form, after French pédologie (1899 in the French title of the Russian periodical Počvovedenie) or Russian pedologija (1898 in Ènciklopedičeskij Slovar′ XXIV a at počvovedenie). Compare German Pedologie (1862 in the title of F. A. Fallou Pedologie). Ènciklopedičeskij Slovar′ (1898) XXIV a at počvovedenie defines Russian pedologija as the academic branch of the study of soils, while agronomnoe počvovedenie ‘agronomic soil science’ is used for the applied branch. However, no later evidence of the use of pedologija in Russian has been found; počvovedenie ( < počv- (in počva soil) + -o- + -vedenie knowledge, science) is the usual term.
The branch of science that deals with soil, esp. its formation, nature, and classification; soil science. Also: the pedological characteristics of a soil, an area, etc.
