Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'doctrinal', derived from the Latin 'doctrina' (teaching, learning) via Middle English, and 'theology', originating from the Greek 'theologia' (discourse on God), from 'theos' (God) and 'logia' (sayings or utterances). It emerged in theological discourse to designate the systematic formulation of religious teachings.
