Not to be confused with limnology or limophilia, limology is a substudy of microbiology, and the study of
slime, other moist, vicious fluids, how it is produced, and how the word "
slime" used to mean
sap or resin. It is also a rare subject to be taught in schools and colleges.
Etmology:
Limology derives from the Latin word "limo", meaning "
slime" (Just like the word "limophilia"), and the Greek suffix "ology", which means "the study of". "Limology" can be loosely translated to "study of slime", hence its definition.
