About This Root
From Latin ēducāre (to bring up, rear, educate), related to ēdūcere (to lead out). The beautiful etymology suggests education is about "drawing out" a person's potential, not just filling them with information. Yields educate, education, educational, and educator — all centered on the process of intellectual nurturing.
