logies

Logies can refer to two distinct meanings. In linguistic and academic contexts, logy is a suffix derived from Greek -logia, meaning the study of or discourse about something. The plural form logies is rarely used in everyday discourse, since disciplines are usually named in full (for example biology, geology, psychology). When logies appears in this sense, it would refer to multiple fields of study ending in -logy, though it is more common to describe them as “disciplines ending in -logy” rather than as logies.

The Logies, with a capital L, is a well-known Australian television award ceremony commonly called The Logies. The awards were established in 1959 by TV Week magazine to recognize achievements in Australian television. The Gold Logie is the top prize, awarded to the most popular personality on Australian television, while Silver Logie and various craft and program categories acknowledge broader contributions. The ceremony has been held in different cities over the years, reflecting the nationwide scope of the Australian television industry, and remains a prominent event in Australian media coverage and public attention.

In sum, logies may denote the plural of certain study fields ending in -logy in a linguistic sense, or more prominently, refer to the Australian Logie Awards, a major annual television industry event named in honor of television’s origins.
