sophomore

[MAKIS]

The term sophomore is probably a compound of the Greek σοφός (sophos), "wise" + μωρός (moros)

Ο δευτεροετής φοιτητής δεν έχει γνήσια ετυμολογική σχέση με τον μωρόσοφο, πάντως.

sophomore (n.)
1680s, "student in the second year of university study," literally "arguer," altered from sophumer (1650s, from sophume, archaic variant form of sophism), probably by influence of folk etymology derivation from Greek sophos "wise" + moros "foolish, dull." The original reference might be to the dialectic exercises that formed a large part of education in the middle years. At Oxford and Cambridge, a sophister (from sophist with spurious -er as in philosopher) was a second- or third-year student (what Americans would call a "junior" might be a senior sophister).

Και, κλασικά, δοκησίσοφος, αλλά ας μη ξεχνάμε και τον γνωστό τύπο Ελληνάρα: τον ξερόλα
