Word of the Day

Now, this word I heard quite a while ago in a Spanish class, but I thought everyone should know it because it has appeared quite a few times since (and by the way, nothing beats the feeling of coming across a particularly difficult word and you know what it means).

Today's Word:

Pedagogy

Adjective: Pedagogical

The act, principles and art of teaching.

Word Origin: From the Greek 'paidagogia' meaning 'education' or 'attendance on children'.

Sentence example: Her style was terribly pedagogical, so that everyone understood what she was talking about.
