Studing one word one day is just tell us that every success begins atom things . Just like knowledge accumulative , it is a long time to program . Without patient, we can't attain it; without diligent, we can't reach it; without careful, we can't even arrive it. So It's important that I write this composition.
What I want to say today, is the noun word: PEDANT. Do you know what 'PEDANT' mean? According to the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, its etymology is Middle French, from Italian "PEDANTE", date 1958.
Comparing the spelling for the old and new one, is just lack a letter "e" in tail. I can't tell the reason for lacking of enough knowledge or I am a little pedant.
Let's see the obsolete mean: a male schoolteacher. O , it is clear that pedant means a man according to the word male. A schoolteacher, o, it is easy to catch. So concrete, nothing too difficult, what is the nowdays mean.
At present, we use it more wildly than before. Looking the dictionary, we will find three means about pedant; a: one who makes a show of knowledge ; b: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutine in the presentation or use of knowledge; c: a formalist or presisionist in teaching. Wow, it's so abstract that you even catch it when you first learn it. But having one word regularity emphasize , knowledge. Pedant is a word about knowledge, and it is a person according to the "one who".
In fact , with the developing of the society, the insight of the word PEDANT is gradutely changing from the sunrise to sunsink day by day.More abstract, more wildly using, more things need to be deal, the bomb of the knowledge fill the space as an enity. From old to new, we can easily understand the word PEDANT is a man full of knowledge, and may be a little less imangination on general. So we can make a sentence with this word. "Full of tradiction books on his brain, he just like a pedant, who hard to find today, with thick glasses over his eyes." You can get another sentence ,also.
To sum up,keep it in your heart; only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult thing easily.(Friedrich Schiller, German Dramatist and poet).
