noun

Etymology: From pogono- + -ology.

  1. The study of beards.

    Throughout the history of pogonology the owners of beards have made them the subject of much loving care.

    I would find it interesting to trace the whole question of facial hair back to antiquity, exploring developments in pogonology (to be technical again), quoting from the ancients, but you can have too much of a good thing.
