This week we continue our vocabulary-building series, “The Closing Word.” Each week we provide a new word to help build your vocabulary and show you an example of how to use it.
This week’s closing word:
Pronounced: (ER-oo-dite or ER-yoo-dite)
Adjective:
having or showing profound knowledge
Synonyms: learned, scholarly
From Vocabulary.com: ”Erudite is from the Latin verb erudire, “to teach,” which comes from rudis for “raw, unskilled, ignorant” (the source of our word rude). If you bring someone out of a raw state, you educate them.”
Example:
“An erudite agent knows it’s important to convey their deep understanding of real estate, but must do so in a way that doesn’t seem arrogant or condescending.”
