About This Root

From Latin tuērī (to watch, guard, protect), giving tuitio (guardianship). The "watching over" sense produces tuition (originally the care of a pupil, now the fee for it), tutor (a guardian/teacher), and intuition (looking inward — knowledge gained by internal watching rather than reasoning). The semantic shift from physical guarding to intellectual guidance is characteristic.
