The word “educate” dates back from 1447, from the latin word: educatus, ( “bring up, rear, educate,” ), and which is related to educere “bring out,” from ex- “out” + ducere “to lead” (see duke).

The meaning ” to provide schooling” is first known in 1588 in Shakespeare.

John V
educare — Latin, ‘to draw out.’

So education is the process of drawing out knowledge from an individual.

Actually, educare derives from educere, which means not to draw out but to lead out, so the implication that one is leading the young out of ignorance.
