I dunno. Check it out.

British jazz player Humphrey Lyttelton told a story of how a radio interviewer once asked him "I hear you're a bit of an orthinologist?" [sic]

On his way home he thought of the reply he ought to have given: "Not so much an orthinologist, more of a word-botcher."

I can't confirm with the German version, but in the English version of Wikipedia, all articles end in philosophy.

Maybe its the philosophy behind doing theoretical (investigations), like biological philosophy is concerned with the how to do biology.
Things like applicable metaphysics, reasonable questions, ethics, etc.
