The word 'technology' derives from the Greek words 'techne', meaning art and craft, and 'logos', meaning word and speech.
Notes on verification
Confirmed by etymological dictionaries (Etymonline), Wikipedia, and an academic paper on the term's history. Minor variation in how 'logos' is glossed (word/speech vs. reason/study) does not undermine the core claim. [tier=bronze indep_score=0.3 clusters=3 claim_tier=everyday]
