EDUCERE?
What’s That Again? Educere means (1) to lead forth, draw out, bring away, (2) to bring, summon, (3) to bring up or lead away, (4) to take out with one, and (5) to lead forth, march out (Numen – The Latin Lexicon). Educere is also the title of the School of Education and Human Performance’s annual magazine. “According to the Oxford English Dictionary, ‘education’ is derived from its Latin root, ‘educare’. Educare means ‘to rear or to bring up’. Educare itself can be traced to the latin [sic] root words, ‘e’ and ‘ducere’. Together, ‘e-ducere’ means to ‘pull out’ or ‘to lead forth’” (The Educare Institute). Educere is pronounced e–du’–zcer–ee or e–du’–car–ee. The term “to educate” comes from “educere,” which means “to bring/draw out.” So, the next time someone asks, “How do you pronounce the name of the SEHP magazine?” you’ll have an answer.
