Ethography

/ɛˈθɒɡrəfi/ noun

Definition

A detailed written or visual description and study of a particular people, culture, or ethnic group.

Etymology

From Greek ethnos (people, nation) + -graphia (writing/description). It's essentially a synonym for ethnography, though less commonly used in modern academic writing.

Kelly Says

This word is basically 'ethnography' by another name, but most anthropologists dropped it in favor of 'ethnography' because it sounded cleaner and more professional.
