The word “cephitology” was coined by Dr. Michael J. Bisconti. Here is the etymological process behind the word “cephitology”:
- First, we translated “how to always do the right thing” from English to Latin. This gave us “ut ius illud facio semper.”
- Next, we translated “how to always make the right decision.” This gave us “quam semper facere ius arbitrium.”
- Next, we translated “always make the right choice.” This gave us “semper facere ius arbitrium.”
- Next, we translated “always make right choice.” This also gave us “semper facere ius arbitrium.”
- Having established a Latin foundation for the word “cephitology,” we broke down the words “semper facere ius arbitrium” into two parts – “semper facere” and “ius arbitrium.”
- We then extracted “sef” from the words “semper facere” and “itrium” from the words “ius arbitrium.”
- Then, we combined “sef” and “itrium” to form “sefitrium.”
- Then, we simplified “sefitrium” to “sefit.”
- As we approached the final two steps of our etymological process, we added the standard “-ology” suffix to form the intermediate term “sefitology.”
- We next replaced “f” with the more formal “ph” to form the intermediate term “sephitology.”
- Finally, we replaced the letter “s” with the more formal letter “c” to form our term “cephitology.”
