ARCHAE में वही ‘बहुत पुराना’ है जो archaic में है, और ‘-logy’ यानी अध्ययन। Archaeology यानी बहुत पुरानी चीज़ों का अध्ययन — खुदाई से निकला इतिहास।

ARCHAE is the same ‘very old’ that you hear in archaic, and ‘-logy’ means study. Archaeology is the study of the very old: human history dug out from ancient sites.
