-logia

Extracted from the Wikipedia article -logy.

-logy is a suffix in the English language, used with words originally adapted from Ancient Greek ending in -λογία (-logía). The earliest English examples were anglicizations of the French -logie, which was in turn inherited from the Latin-logia. The suffix became productive in English from the 18th century, allowing the formation of new terms with no Latin or Greek precedent.
