This is an excellent question. The terms are as follows: Set of 2 - Duology, 3 - Trilogy, 4 - Tetralogy, 5 - Pentalogy, 6 - Hexology, 7 - Heptalogy, 8 - Octology, 9 - Ennealogy, 10 - Decology. After the 10 mark there is a slight change... 11 - Undecology, 12 - Dodecology... from 13 to 18 the same greek prefixes are used before the word part "decology" ~ tri,tetra,penta,hexa,hepta and octodecology... on to 20 it is Nonodecology and Icosology. Hope this helps and answers your question.

AnswerA quadrilogy, meaning part 4 of 4.The word 'quadrilogy' doesn't exist and was invented by the movie industry.The correct word is 'tetralogy'.


If 3 movies is called a trilogy what is four or more?

Quadrilogy is a nonce word in which does not exist in the English language.Nonce words frequently arise through the combination of an existing word with a familiar prefix or suffix, in order to meet a particular need (or as a joke). The result is a special kind of pseudo word: although it would not be found in any dictionary it is instantly comprehensible.The correct term for a Trilogy in which a 4th title has been added to the works would be called a "Tetralogy"As an alternative to "tetralogy", "quartet" is sometimes used, particularly for series of four books. The term "quadrilogy", a nonce word basing the prefix on latin prefix quadri- instead of the Greek prefix, and has also been used for marketing series of movies, such as the Alien series and Die Hard series.aaannnyyways.. lol either term works to get the point across.. just as long as your not writing a paper that will be graded. :P---Brian H


Trilogy quadrilogy quintilogy What is the name for this indexing?

This does not appear to be recognised as a system but rather as an informal convention, and does not have an agreed name. However, the word "trilogy" is derived from the Greek "trilogia", simply meaning 'three stories' ("ology" or "logos", translating as 'written work'). It is used in reference to works of three distinct parts. Higher numbers of distinct-but-related works may be named by combining the Greek number with "-logy". The proper labelling convention for a work of four distinct parts, therefore, is actually "tetralogy" ("tetra" means four) rather than "quadrilogy". The word 'quad' is Latin, not Greek. Higher numbers are easily constructed: 5 = pentalogy 6 = hexalogy 7 = heptalogy 8 = octalogy 9 = ennealogy 10 = decalogy 11 = hendecalogy / undecalogy 12 = dodecalogy 13 = triskaidecalogy / tridecology 14 = tetrakaidecalogy / tetradecology 15 = pendedecalogy 16 = hexdecalogy 17 = heptdecalogy 18 = octdecalogy 19 = enneadecalogy 20 = icosalogy ...and so on. Of course, it would seem impractical to use this convention for such high numbers when a work of many parts would be more simply and easily referred to as a "series". However, being informal, there's no particular reason not to be utterly absurd: 100 = hecatology 1000 = chilialogy
