Etymology dictionary

 

Insect: From Latin insectum (“cut into”), a direct calque of the Greek ἔντομον.

Entomologist: Combines entomo- with the Greek agent suffix -ιστής (-istēs), meaning “one who studies”.

Common Confusion:
Entomology is often mistaken for etymology (study of word origins), but they derive from distinct roots:

Entomology: Greek ἔντομον + -λογία.

Etymology: Greek ἐτυμολογία (etymología, “true sense” + “word”).
