noun

Etymology: Ancient Greek

  1. The study of worms.

    “Everybody was deep in arboriculture and vermeology; and what we did not know about mulberry trees for feeding silk worms was not worth knowing; and what we did not know about worms, and 'the diet of worms,' and cocoons, and reeling of fibre, and weaving of silk and satin could not be learned.”
