I know where some of your minds went when you saw this title. But, nope, that’s not what this word means!
Horology is the science of measuring time and/or the art of making timepieces. Horologists are people who make watches and clocks or collect them. So, if you’re ever at a party and want to get a shocked look from someone, tell them you’re a horologist and wait for the gasp. LOL!
By the way, I was interviewed here: http://suzannepurvis.blogspot.com/ about writing short vs. long. Come by and keep me company.

I think I like this word. Interesting. Does it have anything to do with the god Horus?

My dad collects clocks. I wonder what he would think if I called him that? LOL I like the photo you used.

Yep I would have put another meaning on that word and sadly would have thought it was correct so wouldn’t have looked it up.
