About Classical EducationEducation comes from the Latin verb educare, which combines the root ducere—to lead or guide—and the prefix e or ex—out or away. In its origin, the word thus means something like “to lead out” or “to guide away from.”
We can further extrapolate that education is intended to guide us away from the state of being uneducated, from a state of ignorance. |
