From LoveToKnow 1911

LORE, properly instruction, teaching, knowledge. The O. Eng. lar, as the Dutch leer and Ger. Lehre, represents the Old Teutonic root, meaning to impart or receive knowledge, seen in "to learn," "learning." In the Gentleman's Magazine for June 1830 it was suggested that "lore" should be used as a termination instead of the Greek derivative -ology in the names of the various sciences. This was never done, but the word, both as termination and alone, is frequently applied to the many traditional beliefs, stories, &c., connected with the body of knowledge concerning some special subject; e.g. legendary lore, bird-lore, &c. The most familiar use is in "folk-lore" (q.v.).
