/həˈrɒlədʒi//həˈrɑːlədʒi/

The term "horology" refers to the scientific study of time measurement, which includes the design, construction, and study of clocks and watches. The origin of the word "horology" can be traced back to the Latin word "horologium," which means "clock." In the 16th century, the term was adopted by Dutch scholars who were interested in the study of time and mechanical devices. They introduced the term "horologia" into the Latin dialect spoken in the Netherlands, which gradually evolved into "horology" in English. The modern meaning of the word "horology" encompasses not just the design and development of timepieces but also the broader concept of time measurement and its practical applications in fields such as engineering, physics, and astronomy.
