Word Origin & History

terminology

1801, from Ger. Terminologie (1786), a hybrid coined by C.G. Schütz of Jena, from M.L. terminus "word, expression" (see terminus) + Gk. -logia "a dealing with, a speaking of."

Encyclopedia Britannica

Encyclopedia

terminology

in colonial history, an unstable rudimentary hybrid language used as a means of communication between persons having no other language in common. Although the term was long synonymous with pidgin-as can be seen by the use of jargon in the names of such pidgins as Chinook Jargon and Mobilian Jargon-in the 1980s some linguists began restricting its use to denote pre-pidgins, or early developmental forms of pidgins.
