ethological

/ˌiθəlˈɑdʒɪkəl/ adj

Of or pertaining to ethology.

Word Origin Ethological combines Greek ēthos 'character, custom' and logos 'study, discourse' — so it's the study of behavior, literally 'the logic of character.' Ethology originally referred to the study of human character but now mainly describes animal behavior science. The same ēthos gives us ethics and ethos, while logos appears in logic and biology.
