- 1博學；學識（書本上深厚的那種）
Erudition is the learning itself — a large store of knowledge built by careful study, especially of books, languages, history, or ideas. It is not “being clever in the moment”; it is what you have gathered over years. The word is formal and a little old-fashioned in everyday English. A teacher might praise a student’s knowledge; a critic might praise a writer’s erudition. Though actually, too much show of erudition can feel cold, as if the person is stacking facts instead of talking to you. People also stretch it: a deep knowledge of one small field (old maps, baseball records) may be called erudition with a grin. First widely used in English in the 1400s.
組成From Middle French érudition, from Latin eruditio (“instructing, learning”), from erudire (“to instruct,” literally “free from rudeness”), from e (“out”) + rudis (“rude”). By the look of the English word, erudite + -ion.
