Education \Ed`u*ca"tion\ (?; 135), n. [L. educatio; cf. F.
['e]ducation.]
The act or process of educating; the result of educating, as
determined by the knowledge skill, or discipline of
character, acquired; also, the act or process of training by
a prescribed or customary course of study or discipline; as,
an education for the bar or the pulpit; he has finished his
education.
[1913 Webster]
To prepare us for complete living is the function which
education has to discharge. --H. Spenser.
Syn: Education, Instruction, Teaching, Training,
Breeding.
Usage: Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so
much the communication of knowledge as the discipline
of the intellect, the establishment of the principles,
and the regulation of the heart. Instruction is that
part of education which furnishes the mind with
knowledge. Teaching is the same, being simply more
familiar. It is also applied to practice; as, teaching
to speak a language; teaching a dog to do tricks.
Training is a department of education in which the
chief element is exercise or practice for the purpose
of imparting facility in any physical or mental
operation. Breeding commonly relates to the manners
and outward conduct.
[1913 Webster]
