Etymology
From English encyclopedia, borrowed from New Latin encyclopaedia (“general education”), from (and likely through a misunderstanding of) Koine Greek ἐγκυκλοπαιδεία (enkuklopaideía, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from Ancient Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδείᾱ (enkúklios paideíā, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from ἐγκύκλιος (enkúklios, “circular”), from κύκλος (kúklos, “circle”) + παιδείᾱ (paideíā, “child-rearing, education”), from παιδεύω (paideúō, “rear a child”) + -ίᾱ (-íā), from παῖς (paîs, “child”)
