Onomasiology is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the study of how concepts are named or labeled, as well as the relationships between words and the ideas they represent. Specifically, it examines the ways in which different languages and cultures assign terms to particular objects, actions, or ideas, and how these terms may vary based on social, cultural, and contextual factors. The term is often contrasted with semasiology, which studies the meanings of words and how those meanings can change over time.
