From the word’s history

From Middle English educaten, from Latin ēducātus, past participle of ēducō 'to bring up, train'.

源自拉丁文 ēducō「養育、培養」,經中古英文 educaten 傳下來。

Wiktionary

Picture someone being walked, over time, from not knowing to knowing — and knowing well enough to act on it. It is not one piece of information handed over; it is a long road with someone guiding, so that at the end the person can think and decide for themselves. That is why `educate` sounds bigger and slower than `tell`.

可以想成有人被帶著走一段路,從不懂走到懂——而且懂到可以自己判斷、自己做決定。這裡的重點不是遞給你一條資訊,而是有人在旁邊引導、走上一段時間,最後你自己有了看事情的能力。這也是為什麼 educate 聽起來比 tell 大、比 tell 慢:它指的是養成,不是通知。
