Root Explanation

The word 'theological' is formed from 'theo-' (from Greek 'theos', meaning god) and '-logical' (from Greek 'logia', meaning study or discourse). Thus, 'theological' refers to the study or discourse about God or religious beliefs.

Memory Tip

Think of 'theo' as relating to 'God' and 'logical' as the study of something — so 'theological' means the study of God.
