And if you could use etymology in a sentence that would be a big help.

A college degree could give you a pedant attitude toward education.


You'd have to be familiar with or interested in etymology to work in a library.

actually the 'last dude' was correct A pedant is a person who is a formalist or precisionist in teaching or scholarship. The term comes from the Latin word paedagogare, meaning "to teach", derived from Greek terms for "child" and "to lead." The term is typically used in a negative connotation, indicating someone overly concerned with minutiae and detail and whose tone is perceived as condescending.

Pedant kind of means like pedantic... so in other words pays extra attention to all the fine details!
Hope this was of help!

Dude, I had to look these words up in a dictionary since they aren't part of my vocabulary. I don't seem to be able to put them in a sentence. If you dwell on the meaning you should be able to create sentences yourself.
