Root Explanation

Genealogically → It is formed from "genea" (from Greek "genea", meaning generation or descent) and "-logy" (from Greek "logia", meaning study or discourse). The word "genealogically" refers to the study or discourse of generations or family descent.

Memory Tip

Think of 'genea' meaning generation and 'logy' meaning study — so genealogically relates to the study of family generations.
