/fᵻˈlatəli/,

/fᵻˈlatl̩i/, U.S.

/fəˈlædli/

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French philatélie.

Etymology: < French philatélie < philo- philo- comb. form + ancient Greek ἀτέλεια exemption from payment ( < ἀτελής free from tax or charge (also incomplete, imperfect: see atelo- comb. form) + -ία -y suffix³); compare ἐξ ἀτελείας without payment, free, franco. Proposed by M. Herpin, a postage-stamp collector, in Le collectionneur de timbres-poste (15 Nov. 1864).Ancient Greek ἀτέλεια is used here to provide a Greek word to combine with French philo- philo- comb. form, which is ultimately of Greek origin. The underlying adjective ancient Greek ἀτελής is meant to convey the sense that the postage was already paid as a result of the purchase of the stamp; compare German Freimarke (1856 or earlier, now historical), Swedish frimärke (1853), Italian francobollo (1850), all in sense ‘postage stamp’. Compare also the etymological note at postage stamp n.

1. The collecting and study of postage stamps or other devices used for or relating to the prepayment of postal charges; stamp collecting.
