Root Explanation

Ideologic → It is formed from "ideo-" (from Greek "idea", meaning form or concept) and "-logic" (from Greek "logia", meaning study or discourse). The word "ideologic" refers to the study or discourse of ideas or concepts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'idea' as a form or concept, and 'logic' as the study of it — that's why ideologic relates to the study of ideas.
