Ontology
Ontology is the philosophical study of being: it asks what exists, what kinds of entities there are, and what it means for something to exist. It is a core branch of metaphysics, and in research it forms the basis of a paradigm's assumptions about reality.
Philosophy is the broad discipline that includes ontology along with epistemology, ethics, logic and aesthetics, so it is not the specific study of being. Etymology is the study of the origin and history of words. Spirituality refers to a personal concern with the sacred, meaning and transcendence, not a formal philosophical study of existence.
