Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Etymologically, the word “education” is derived from the Latin word ēducātiō ("A breeding, a bringing up, a rearing") from ēducō ("I educate, I train") which is related to the homonym ēdūcō ("I lead forth, I take out; I raise up, I erect") from ē-("from, out of") and dūcō ("I lead, I conduct").

Detailed explanation-2: -Education is derived from two Latin words “Educare” or “Educere” and “Educatum”. Educare or Educere means to lead out, to draw out, to raise or to educate where as in Educatum “E”means from inside and “catum” means to draw out or act of teaching or training.

Detailed explanation-3: -Etymologically, the word “Education” is derived from the Latin words “educare", “educere” and “educantum". Educare refers to “to bring up’ or “to nourish", whereas the word ‘’educere” means to “to bring forth” or “to drag out".

Detailed explanation-4: -Now the word “quiz” as in the thing you take at school most likely comes from the Latin qui es? meaning “who are you?” In the 1800s, qui es? was the first question you would be asked in an oral Latin exam. Latin was far more of a cornerstone at every level of education at the time.
