J'ignore ce qu'est Oxford dictionnaire.

En revanche l'Oxford English Dictionary dit ceci :

"teratology

(tɛrəˈtɒlədʒɪ)

[f. Gr. τέρας, τερατ- a marvel, prodigy, monster + -logy. So F. 
tératologie (Littré).]

1.1 A discourse or narrative concerning prodigies; a marvellous tale, or 
collection of such tales.

    1678 Phillips (ed. 4), Teratology, a discourse of prodigies and 
wonders.    1727 Bailey Vol. II, Teratology‥is when bold Writers, fond 
of the sublime, intermix something great and prodigious in every Thing 
they write, whether there be Foundation for it in Reason or not, and 
this is what is call'd Bombast.    [Hence 1755 Johnson, Teratology, 
bombast, affectation of false sublimity.]    1856 C. J. Ellicott in 
Cambr. Ess. 158 The aimless fables and teratologies of Thomas the 
Israelite or the Gospels of the Infancy.    1884 Blackmore Tommy Upm. 
II. 104 Big enough to exhaust even his teratology.

2.2 Biol. The study of monstrosities or abnormal formations in animals 
or plants.

    1842 in Brande Dict. Sc., etc.    1860 Mayne Expos. Lex., 
Teratology‥name given by M. J. Geoffroy de St. Hilaire, to the study or 
consideration of monsters, or anomalies of organization.    1869 M. T. 
Masters (title) Vegetable Teratology.    1904 Brit. Med. Jrnl. 17 Dec. 
1643 Almost the whole of embryonic pathology is‥included within the 
limits of teratology."

Un de mes voisins possède 12 doigts à chaque mimine. Il m'a demandé de 
l'aide pour écosser des petits pois.
J'ai refusé, arguant du fait que je ne suis point tératologue.
