paninid, TIL
The word "pedant" has its roots in the Latin "paedagogantem," which is the present participle of "paedagogare," meaning "to act as a pedagogue or to teach."
The Latin word is derived from the Greek "paidagōgós," which originally referred to a slave who escorted children to and from school but later meant "a teacher".
