The Greek root word for 'place' is 'topos'. From its root syllable 'top-' derive the English words 'topology', which means the study of a place and its contour lines on maps. Another is 'topography', which means the act of drawing a map in such a way as to show how high various places are above sea level. Still another is 'utopia', which means an imaginary place where conditions are ideal.
