Which suffix is used to form terms meaning the study of?

-logy

The suffix that means “the study of” is -logy. In medical terms, adding -logy to a root names a field of study, such as dermatology (study of the skin), neurology (study of the nervous system), or biology (study of life). The other endings describe something about the condition or symptoms rather than a field of study: -algia means pain, -edema refers to swelling, and -necrosis means tissue death. So -logy is the best fit for indicating a study or science.

-algia

-edema

-necrosis
