Etymology
The word "educação" comes from the Latin 'educatio,' meaning 'a breeding, a bringing up, a rearing.' It is derived from 'educare,' which means 'to bring up or raise.' Did you know? The root 'ducare' relates to leading, so education originally implied guiding or leading someone out of ignorance.
