- 4. pedantick ＝ schoolmaster-like, pedagogic. With the latter word it is said by some to be etymologically almost identical ; pedant, they say, is contracted from pedagogant (is there such a word ?), which is a secondary form from pedagogue. More probably, as Diez holds, it is from a Latinized form of the Gr. παιδεύειν, the Ital. pedante. For pedant in the sense of ‘ schoolmaster ’ see e. g. Love’s Labour’s Lost, iii. i. 179 :
‘ A domineering pedant o’er the boy,’ &c.
