Root Explanation

Serologically → It is formed from "sero-" (from Latin "serum", meaning serum or fluid) and "-logy" (from Greek "logia", meaning study or science). The word refers to the study of serum, particularly in relation to blood tests and immune responses.

Memory Tip

Think of 'serum' as the fluid being studied ('sero-') and 'logy' as the science of that study. This helps you remember that 'serologically' relates to the scientific examination of serum.
