The Oxford English Dictionary defines nomology as "the branch of science and philosophy that deals with the laws or principles governing the workings of the mind, especially as defined by custom or culture." The name nomology may come from Aristotle (Aristotle, 1995). The suffix '-ology' implies 'order', 'word', and 'reason', and is meant to be subjectively reasonable or 'logical' as in sociology and psychology. The 'nom-' part implies 'rule' and 'law', and it is about being objectively legal or 'nomical' as in economics.
