izglītība
See also: izglītībā
Latvian
Etymology
Coined by Atis Kronvalds in 1869, from his earlier coinage izglītot (“to cultivate, to educate”) (from iz- + glītot (“to cultivate”), q.v.), both calques of (deprecated template usage) [etyl] German ausbilden (“to educate”), Ausbildung (“education, formation”). Later on (1871), Kronvalds gave preference to another coinage, dailēt, for the sense of “to educate,” reserving glītot, izglītot for the sense of “to civilize,” but the broader meaning had already become popular. In 1899, R. Kaudzīte attacked in his writings the forms with initial iz-, to which he preferred forms without it, but in vain.[1]
