Root Explanation

Ecologically → It is formed from "eco-" (from Greek "oikos", meaning house or environment) and "-logy" (from Greek "logia", meaning study of). The word "ecologically" refers to the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'oikos' meaning house or environment, and 'logia' meaning study — so ecologically relates to the study of how living things interact with their environment.
