I have no idea where I saw this word in the last couple of months. I was looking at my ever growing list of words and it was one I had not used for my word of the week posts. As a teacher, I really like this word and want to see my students be erudite with what they are learning in school!
Erudite : having or showing knowledge that is gained by studying : possessing or displaying erudition1
Have you heard of this word? Would you use it in an every day conversation? Do you have any words you would like to suggest for my weekly posts? Leave a comment below!
