Etymology
The word 'pedagog' originates from the Greek word 'paidagogos', which was used to describe a slave who accompanied children to school and was responsible for their education and behavior. The term comprises two parts: 'pais', meaning child, and 'agogos', meaning leader or guide. Over time, the use of 'paidagogos' evolved, and by the 16th century, it transitioned into the Latin 'pedagogus', referring to a teacher or educator. In English, the term began to be used in the late 19th century, although its more colloquial counterpart, 'teacher,' has long been more common in everyday language. Today, 'pedagog' often carries a connotation of someone who is well-versed in pedagogical theories and methods, emphasizing a scholarly approach to teaching.
