What does the suffix 'ology' signify?

  1. The study of something

  2. More than normal

  3. Visible hair technique

  4. Condition

The correct answer is: The study of something

The suffix 'ology' is derived from the Greek root word 'logos', which means "the study of". Therefore, it signifies the study of something, making option A the correct choice. Option B may seem plausible as it contains the word "more", but it does not align with the meaning of 'ology'. Option C, visible hair technique, does not relate to the definition of 'ology' and may be confused with a similar sounding term, cosmetology. Option D, condition, is too broad and does not specifically represent the meaning of 'ology'.
