EN: philology
The high-level, academic study of language and literature. It's like being a detective, but instead of solving crimes, you're figuring out the history and structure of words. Think of it as the ultimate 'word nerd' field. Not to be confused with philosophy (pilosopiya), though they might both hang out in the same university coffee shop.
From Spanish 'filología', from Latin 'philologia', from Ancient Greek 'φιλολογία' (philología, 'love of speech').
A very specific academic term.
