/mak-rol'*-jee/ 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.
Sometimes studying the
macrology of a system is not unlike
archaeology, ecology, or
theology, hence the sound-alike
construction. See also
boxology.
