What is "lexicology"?
Lexicology is the study of words, their meanings, and how they are used in a language. It looks at the structure, history, and relationships between words, as well as how they change over time. Lexicology also examines how words are categorized and how their meanings can shift in different contexts. This field helps us better understand vocabulary and the way words function within a language system.
