Root Explanation

Eduction is formed from "educare" (meaning to rear or bring up) and "-tion" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating an action or condition). The word "eduction" refers to the process of bringing out or developing something, particularly in the context of education or drawing out knowledge.

Memory Tip

Think of 'bringing up' ('educare') knowledge or skills, and the '-tion' indicates the action of doing so. This helps you remember that 'eduction' is about the process of developing or drawing out potential.
