ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±, ÏÎ¹Î»Î¿ÏÎ¿ÏÎ¯Î±Ï, á¼¡ (from ÏÎ¹Î»ÏÏÎ¿ÏÎ¿Ï), properly, love (and pursuit) of wisdom; used in the Greek writings of either zeal for or skill in any art or science, any branch of knowledge, see Passow, under the word (cf. Liddell and Scott, under the word).
This ROOT-WORD is SOPH which means WISDOM. It comes from the Greek sophos. The list points up the fact that the SOPH laughs at true wisdom at the very moment when he himself tries to appear wise. The poor SOPHomore is hard put to it pretending to be wise when he has only just come out of the freshman class. His SOPHistication sits uneasily on his immaturity.
