覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
educate はラテン語の e「外へ」＋ducere「導く」に由来し、子どもや人の能力を外へ引き出して「育てる・教育する」動詞です。educate children, educate people about health のように、人や知識への意識を長期的に育てる場面で使います。teach が授業や技能を教える行為に寄るのに対し、educate は人格や理解を広く形成する感覚です。
You can remember barometric by linking it to barometer, the instrument used to measure air pressure, and the adjective ending -ic. Just as electric relates to electricity, -ic often means "related to." That is why barometric is often used with nouns like sensor, gauge, and function when talking about pressure-measuring tools or systems.

educate の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 educare「育てる・養う」がもとで、さらに educere「外へ導き出す」と結び付けて説明されます。ex-「外へ」+ ducere「導く」の連想から、学ぶ力を内から引き出して育てる語だと分かります。関連語は conduct, reduce。
Educate comes from Latin educare, meaning "to bring up" or "to train." It is also often linked with educere, "to lead out," from ex- "out" and ducere "to lead." Because of that connection, the word came to suggest not only teaching, but also drawing out a person's abilities. Related English words include conduct and reduce.
