Haruspication

/ˌhɑːrəspɪˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The practice or act of divination through examination of animal entrails; haruspicy.

Etymology

Formed from 'haruspicate' with the noun suffix '-tion,' creating an English noun for the Latin practice. This is an alternative to the more common 'haruspicy,' showing English's multiple pathways for creating technical terms.

Kelly Says

English speakers could say either 'haruspicy' or 'haruspication'—both are technically correct, but one sounds more Latin and one more English, revealing how we layer multiple word-formation systems atop one another.
