 :Note that "specializes in the study of God's creation of Man in the Book of Genesis" is qn overcomplicated clue for "Adamology" (not a real thing, except as a neologism largely unrelated to the specific Adam of Genesis). To "specialise in the first man of the Book Of Genesis" would be an easier/sharper pointer straight to "Adamology", losing the "creation of" bit. And "Man" (humanity) to "man" (that male human).
 :Plus the pronunciation differences to reach something like "etiol-" from "entymol-" take less 'effort' (dropping two very similar soft consonants, as I would say each) than getting to "adamol-" (two completely different vowel-shifts, unless perhaps you're speaking with something like a strong stereotypicals New Zealand accent for some reason, ''and'' a recharacterised hard-consonant). And even closer from "etymol-" (just losing the "m").
-:So more complicated than it needs to be, IMO, either if you're trying to back-form the non-dictionary specialism of "Adam"'s ''or'' go looking for something else to have as an error. Seems to me, Randall'd use one of the established words, part of the fun being to educate us about it. YMMV, but I think I can justify that it tips the balance.
