Method is about techniques. For instance, an anthropologist can start the research by learning the language of the natives as to illicit information to the people. Whereas, Methodology is a critical attitude that has a philosophical meaning. It is about deconstruction of the data gained through the methods.

You could say that methodology is the study of methods. So if you are going to do some research, you might do some methodology to decide what methods were appropriate.

Yes, it's frequently misused. Methodology is "the analysis of the principles of methods, rules, and postulates employed by a discipline" according to Merriam-Webster. People say "methodology" in order to sound more "professional." This is called word inflation.
