Forms: 1900s– rhochrematics, 1900s– rhocrematics.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek ῥοή , ῥόος , χρηματ- , χρῆμα , -ic suffix 2.

Etymology: < ancient Greek ῥοή or ῥόος stream, flow (both < an ablaut variant of the base of ρεῖν to flow: see rheid n.) + χρηματ-, χρῆμα thing, (in plural) goods (see chrematistic adj.) + -ic suffix 2.On the circumstances of the coinage compare:1960 S. H. Brewer Rhochrematics 3 Physical distribution and materials management overlap to a considerable degree. Today's business literature is replete with references to ‘total distribution costs’, ‘landed cost management’, and other words and phrases which refer to different aspects of the management of material flows. To avoid the stigmas and manifold impressions attached to such terms a new word broad enough to encompass these areas of business activity yet precise to the point of being exclusive in connotation has been developed. This word is Rhochrematics.

(The study of) the flow of materials from raw state to final consumer, including the processes of manufacture, marketing, and distribution.
