macrology /mak-rol'*-jee/ n. 1. Set of usually complex or
crufty macros, e.g., as part of a large system written in
{LISP}, {TECO}, or (less commonly) assembler. 2. The art and
science involved in comprehending a macrology in sense 1.
Sometimes studying the macrology of a system is not unlike
archeology, ecology, or {theology}, hence the sound-alike
construction. See also {boxology}.
