+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|con-|discō|t2=to learn]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan traces [[m|la|discō]] to [[itc-pro|*dikske/o-]] and a reduplicated present [[ine-pro|*di-dḱ-sḱ-e/o-|t=to take, accept]], meaning "to take in repeatedly".^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to learn thoroughly, most often with an infinitive: Plautus' drinker, Cicero's having learned to beg a little more carefully, Horace's learning to bear poverty.^(Lewis & Short 1879) With an accusative Horace has learning measures of song, Ovid a fault learned from childhood, and Suetonius kinds of applause.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cicero also uses it with a relative clause, of learning what the profit of money was.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Seneca uses it of learning about death at the very altars.^(OLD 2012) Columella and Pliny the Elder use it of plants, as a vine shoot gradually learning to feed on its own roots.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Apuleius has it with the dative, of people who learned with him at Athens.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Stelten gives "learn with, learn thoroughly" for Church Latin.^(Stelten 1995)
