'theology' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'theologia,' where 'theos' meant 'god' and 'logia' meant 'study or discourse.'

'theologia' transformed into the Latin word 'theologia,' and eventually became the modern English word 'theology' through Old French.

Initially, it meant 'the study of divine things,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'the study of the nature of God and religious belief.'
