AETIOLOGY, or ETIOLOGY (from Gr. atria, cause, and Xo yia, discourse)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 298 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
AETIOLOGY, or ETIOLOGY (from Gr. atria, cause, and Xo yia, discourse) , strictly, the science or
philosophy
  of
causation
 , but generally used to denote the
part
  of any
special
  science (and especially of that of
medicine
  and disease) which investigates the causes and origin of its phenomena. An aetiological myth is one which is regarded as having been invented ex
post
  facto to explain some fact, name or coincidence, the true
account
  or origin of which has been forgotten. Such myths were often based on
grotesque
  philological analogies, according to which an existing connexion between two personalities (cities, &c.) was traced back to a common mythical origin. For a good example of the
evolution
  of such myths, see the
argument
