+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * /ˈaʊ̯sˌbɪldʊŋ/^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''Ausbildung''' ''f'' (genitive Ausbildung, plural Ausbildungen)^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed [[af|de|ausbilden|-ung]].^(Wiktionary)^(Wiktionary DE)^(Paul 2002) The verb is a particle verb of [[bilden]], recorded late as [[gmh|ūzbilden]] “to show a likeness, shape into an image”, a word of the mystics.^(Kluge 2011|123)^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Duden 7 2020|149) [[m|de|bilden|alt=Bilden]] itself is [[m|gmh|bilden]], [[goh|bilidōn]], from the noun [[m|goh|bilidi]], whose modern form is [[Bild]].^(Kluge 2011|123)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The revised Grimms' dictionary has the noun as early as 1507, in a German version of Bonaventura, where ''vßbildung'' renders Latin ''exemplaritas'', the model form of all things in God.^(DWB2|3, 960) Pfeifer dates the noun to the first half of the 17th century, and Paul cites Morhof in 1682.^(Pfeifer 1993)^(Paul 2002) In 1645 Harsdörffer used it of the working-out of a play that a poet must master.^(DWB2|3, 960)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ For a long time the word meant shaping and development in general: the Grimms gloss it with Latin ''conformatio'' and ''cultus'' and give the ''Ausbildung'' of the mind, of a work, of language and of art.^(DWB|1, 832) The revised dictionary quotes it of the growth of a bone (1790), of a small child's progress in crawling and teething (Schleiermacher, 1806) and of the development of a tax system (Bismarck, 1885).^(DWB2|3, 960) In the 18th century [[ausbilden]] drew closer to [[bilden]] and its educational sense, and Goethe used it for the forming of a person and for preparation for a profession; today the noun mostly means vocational training.^(Paul 2002) The Vocational Training Act of 1969 coined ''Auszubildende(r)'' for an apprentice, later shortened to [[Azubi]].^(Paul 2002)
