education
/ˌedʒuˈkeɪʃən/·에듀케이션·noun
the process of teaching and learning
LatinCEFR A2
Root
e- (out) + Latin 'ducere' (to lead) + -ation (act)
Latin educatio (a leading out, a rearing) → Middle French education → English education
In a word
e- (out) + duc (lead) = 'lead out what lies asleep inside a learner'. Education isn't pouring knowledge in — it's drawing out what's already there. The Latin educare carries that distinction. A good teacher isn't one who fills you up; they're one who pulls duc out of you.
Examples
