Yesterday’s word

The word bryology is “the branch of botany that deals with mosses, liverworts, and hornworts”

First usage

Our word came into English in the mid-1800s

Background / Comments

I had no idea that there was such a specific word — it came from the Greek word bryo- (moss) combined with -ology (study).
