It actually is,
enterology (English) -> entero- (Latin prefix) -> ἔντερον (Greek) -> h₁énteros (PIE) -> intrō (Latin) -> enter (English)

Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn’t count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.
