Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Ok guys, I need help. I am looking for a word that is similiar to Teacher in that you teach others, but of semi religious connotation. I have already searched through a thesaurus and online. Can someone else help by giving suggestions?
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Synonyms: educator, instructor, pedagogue, preceptor, schoolteacher Related Words: headmaster, master, schoolmaster; headmistress, schoolmarm (or schoolma'am), schoolmistress; coach, guide, guru, trainer; mentor, tutor; drillmaster; dean, don, professor; pedant; governess, homeschooler; catechist, lecturer, moralizer, preacher Good enough?
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 No. I looked at all of those already.
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Then you won't be content. Or at least not so. What's it for, anyway?
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Something I am preparing... It is for a role I have been researching/preparing for quite some time now... I just need to find the proper term... Edited June 28, 2009 by Fenrir Greycloth
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Yes, but nothing that is related to a certain religion either. I think Zealot may work. Edit: No... I don't want people to think of it as a fanatic... Something toned down a bit... Edited June 28, 2009 by Fenrir Greycloth
Grido Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 [quote]zeal⋅ot a member of a radical, warlike, ardently patriotic group of Jews in Judea, particularly prominent from a.d. 69 to 81, advocating the violent overthrow of Roman rule and vigorously resisting the efforts of the Romans and their supporters to heathenize the Jews.[/quote] also connected to a particular religion, also if you want religious connotation but not of a particular one, you'd be hard pressedto find a word Grido 1
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 I say this is a weird topic. But, if it keeps us from being too bored, then I guess it's fine by me.
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Oh trust me, it's keeping me and my belly full of gross koolaid happy. I found the word btw. Disciple. BOOYAH!
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Disciples are followers, or students. Not teachers. You had us look for something in the wrong place.
dst Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Disciple is not a teacher! Au contraire! It's just the opposite. It's the follower...O_O.
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, but a disciple learns from the Master, and then will become the master in time.
dst Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 Don't try to twist things. A disciple is a disciple and a master is a master. May I close the topic since you found your answer?
Grido Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 when a disciple starts teaching they're no longer a disciple.... Grido 1
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Posted June 28, 2009 A disciple is a follower, and if he learns from his master and ends up teaching, then he is now a master to his disciples and a disciple to his master. o.O
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Posted June 28, 2009 Are adepts allowed to have adepts? I think so. Its all in the hips... I mean perspective.
