Where it comes from

From Ancient Greek σημασία (sēmasía, “the meaning of a word”) + -ology.

noun semasiologies

  1. uncountable, usually Semantics; a discipline within linguistics concerned with the meaning of a word independent of its phonetic expression. Stylistics seemed to have become a four-letter-word in German semasiology, a fact that shows how far official German semasiology had shifted away from Reisig's initial outline, and how different it was from Bréal's semantics of language-use and Wegener's semantics of communication.
