Palynology is the science of palynomorphs, a general term for all entities found in palynological preparations (e.g., pollen, spores, cysts, diatoms). A dominating object of the palynomorph spectrum is the pollen grain. The term palynology was coined by Hyde and Williams (1955; Fig. 1). It is a combination of the Greek verb paluno (пαλύνω, “I strew or sprinkle”), palunein (пαλύνeιν, “to strew or sprinkle”), the Greek noun pale (пαλƞ, in the sense of “dust, fine meal,” and very close to the Latin word pollen, meaning “fine flour, dust”), and the Greek noun logos (λογος, “word, speech”). |
