Etymology

The French noun *éducation* comes from the Middle French *educacioun*, itself borrowed from Latin *educātiō* (fem. of *educātiō*), meaning “bringing up” or “training”. This Latin term is formed from *educāre* “to lead out, raise”, which combines *de-* “from” with *educere* “to bring forth”. Over time the word retained its core sense of “instruction or upbringing” while the spelling simplified to the modern *éducation*.
