Erudition
The word
erudition came into
Middle English from
Latin. A scholar is
erudite (Latin
eruditus) when instruction and reading followed by digestion and contemplation have effaced all rudeness (
e- (ex-) + rudis), that is to say smoothed away all raw, untrained incivility. Common usage has blurred the distinction from "learned" but the two terms are quite different.
erudition
Noun
1. profound scholarly knowledge
(synonym) eruditeness, learnedness, learning, scholarship, encyclopedism, encyclopaedism
(hypernym) education
(hyponym) letters
