Etymology of MORE SOPHOMORE

The term "sophomore" comes from two Greek words: "sophos", meaning "wise", and "moros", meaning "foolish" or "dull". The word "sophomore" was first used in the English language in the early 17th century to refer to a student in their second year of study at a university or college. The combination of "sophos" and "moros" in the word "sophomore" reflects the transitional period where students were beginning to gain wisdom and knowledge, but were still considered relatively inexperienced or immature compared to upperclassmen.
