?Which word?

ethnology, ethnography and anthropology

Anthropology is the broad study of human beings, their origins, societies and cultures. Ethnology is the branch that compares and analyses different peoples and cultures. Ethnography is the detailed first-hand description of one particular community, usually by living in it. Ethnic means belonging to a particular race or cultural group.

Anthropology मनुष्यों, उनके मूल, समाजों और संस्कृतियों का व्यापक अध्ययन है। Ethnology वह शाखा है जो विभिन्न जातियों और संस्कृतियों की तुलना और विश्लेषण करती है। Ethnography किसी एक समुदाय का विस्तृत प्रत्यक्ष वर्णन है, प्रायः उसमें रहकर। Ethnic का अर्थ 'किसी विशेष जाति या सांस्कृतिक समूह का' है।

Keep the -ologies together: anthropology (mankind), ethnology (races), sociology (society), archaeology (ancient remains), psephology (elections), demography (population).

-ologies साथ याद रखिए: anthropology (मानव जाति), ethnology (जातियाँ), sociology (समाज), archaeology (प्राचीन अवशेष), psephology (चुनाव), demography (जनसंख्या)।
