arqueología
archaeology
noun ahr-keh-oh-loh-HEE-ah Rare
Origin: From Greek arkhaiología (study of ancient things), via Latin.
Usage Note
Arqueología uses the digraph qu for the /k/ sound before e. The practitioner is el/la arqueólogo/a. The written accent on the í (-ía) puts the stress on that syllable, unlike English 'archaeology'.
Examples
"La arqueología reveló ruinas de gran valor."
Natural Translation
Archaeology revealed ruins of great value.
