Western educators in the past explained the term “Education” as the art of “leading out.” Their explanation was proved by the derivation of term “Education-E” means “Out of and “duco” means “Head”. Thus education is to draw out rather than to put in.
In Latin dictionary the word “educate” means “to lead out.” It is a growth from within. This explanation is exactly a carbon copy of the previous one. There is yet another view according to which the term education comes from the Latin word “educate” meaning “to educate”, “to bring up,” “to raise” or “to clever.” Probably from this explanation the term “education” is directly derived. It is again believed that the term education is derived from the Latin world “educatum” which means the act of teaching or training.
