ERUDITION

Erudition

The word erudition came into Middle English from Latin. A scholar is erudite when instruction and reading followed by digestion and contemplation have effaced all rudeness, that is to say smoothed away all raw, untrained incivility. Common usage has blurred the distinction from "learned".
