Magoosh is now the proud parent of a bouncing baby word: erudite<\/i>! Check it out: https:\/\/www.wordnik.com\/words\/erudite<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Pronounced er-yoo-dahyt<\/i>, this word is an adjective that describes something or someone as learned, educated, or characterized by great knowledge. As in, \u201cWe hope that after studying with Magoosh our students walk away feeling erudite<\/b> and ready to take on their tests!\u201d<\/p>\n

See, it\u2019s no wonder we adopted this one! It\u2019s even similar to the meaning of \u201cmagoosh\u201d in Farsi: one who is highly-learned, wise, and generous. Pretty cool, huh?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in adopting your own word, guess what! You totally can. Just got to the Wordnik<\/a> website to find out more. Adopting a word helps them continue as an ad-free, not-for-profit online dictionary \u2014 and we think that\u2019s a worthy cause.<\/p>\n

Then they sent us these stickers!<\/p>\n
