The post Free eBook: Terminology for Beginners appeared first on In My Own Terms.
Hello, everyone. I hope you enjoyed my recent free eBook. While I was revising it, I realized that there was a lot of useful information that needed updating. For example, many links were not longer available. Also, so many things have happened since I started this blog more than three years ago that I think it’s time for a pause, especially considering that this is an educational blog that, I hope, will be read for many, many years to come.
So rather than publishing new stuff (although of course I will keep sharing new information) I will spend more time checking older posts and sharing the updated information with you. If you want to help in this effort, your comments and feedback are always welcome. Contact me.
Thank you!

I am sharing with you this multilingual (five languages) terminological resource. I was captivated by this quote on their page: “Language is not an abstract construction of the learned, or of dictionary makers, but is something arising out of the work, needs, ties, joys, affections, tastes, of long generations of humanity, and has its bases broad and low, close to the ground”. Noah Webster (1758-1843).

World Wide Words explains that the creation of the term orismology was an attempt by entomologists William Kirby and William Spence to replace “terminology”, which they didn’t like because it was formed by a Latin stem and a Greek suffix. In this way, in an 1816 publication, they coined their own term: orismology.
Although its use is rare, I thought it would be interesting to learn a little bit of history about it. World Wide Words also explains that orismology, besides being an alternative to terminology is also defined as “the science of defining technical terms” by some major dictionaries such as the Merrian Webster.
According to the Wikipedia, “Orismology is the identification, specification, and description of technical terms. The word is constructed from the Greek: orismos (definition) and logos (word, reasoning, study).” In their Introduction to Entomology, Kirby and Spence indicated that: “In the terminology, or what, to avoid the barbarism of a word compounded of Latin and Greek, [Kirby and Spence] would beg to call orismology of the science, they have endeavoured to introduce throughout a greater degree of precision and concinnity* in the terms used to talk about insects.” This approach to naming is particularly applied to disciplines in natural sciences like Kirby and Spence’s entomology that depend upon classificatory schemes, such as taxonomies and ontologies, to organize, name, and address their subject matter.”
In his 1998 paper “The Distinction between Terminology versus Orismology and Its Application to Mathematical Chemistry“, Seymour B. Elk, explains the difference between Orismology and Terminology, with the following example:
“The drug name penicillin was coined by Alexander Fleming from the Latin for paintbrush, which is penicillus. Methicillin, a type of penicillin, gained its name by attaching the stem -cillin (from the United States Adopted Names Council’s list of stems) to a prefix meth which has no inherent meaning. The study of penicillin and methicillin individually would be an etymological study of terminology. However, the study of methicillin as its name derived from penicillin historically might best be described, according to Elk, as orismologic.”
The abstract of this publication also says that: “Two important terms, terminology and orismology are examined, assigning the currently accepted definition of a term in a specific discipline to terminology and the evolutionary history of that term to orismology.”
Elk also published two series of “Orismology (the science of defining words) and the geometrical foundations of chemistry”; one about polymers (a type of molecule) and another one about amino acids, links to which you may find in his 1998 paper above.
Other definitions found are:
* Concinnity: harmony, symmetry, balance.

The Nomenclature, Terminology, and Symbols Committee is one of the many committees that operate within the American Chemical Society in the United States.
Thirty-five chemists met at the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York on April 6, 1876, to found the American Chemical Society. Seven months later, the first president of the newly formed society, John William Draper, delivered his inaugural address at Chickering Hall in New York.
The Committee examines problems and monitors developments in nomenclature, terminology and symbols, coordinates the activities of divisional and other committees dealing with such matters within the Society, advises and consults with editors of Society publications in matters related to nomenclature, terminology and symbols, acts for the Council in the consideration and action on such documents and proposals presented to the Society, acts for the Council in providing liaison in matters of these issues with non-Society organizations, and makes recommendations to the Council in matters related to these issues.
The Committee strives to serve the Members of ACS in matters of Nomenclature, Terminology and Symbols by:
