Etymology

Greek 'enteron' (intestine) + '-logic' (relating to study/knowledge, from 'logos' meaning word or reason). This adjective form describes anything connected to the science of intestinal medicine.

Kelly Says

The '-logic' suffix comes from 'logos' which meant 'word' and 'reason' to ancient Greeks—when you study something, you're supposedly gaining the 'words' or understanding of it.
