In sense 3 after French anthropologie (1680 in this sense, in the passage translated in quot. 1694¹); compare Hellenistic Greek ἀνθρωπολογεῖν to describe or represent in human form (Philo).Compare Middle French, French anthropologie (1516 as entropologie in sense ‘study of humanity’, end of the 18th cent. in sense ‘science of the nature of man’), Italian antropologia (1533 in a work title as †anthropologia in sense ‘study of humanity’, or earlier). Compare also post-classical Latin anthropologium (1501 in the title of a work on the nature of man, or earlier), and ancient Greek ἀνθρωπολόγος speaking of man, i.e. fond of personal conversation (Aristotle).

1. The study or description of human beings or human nature (generally, rather than as a distinct field of study; cf. sense 2); a theory or account of this, as held by a specific person or group.
