means The plural of doctor — trained medical or academic professionals licensed to diagnose, treat, or hold the highest scholarly degree in a field.

from From Latin 'doctor,' meaning 'teacher,' from 'docere,' 'to teach' — a cousin of 'doctrine' and 'document.' Originally a doctor was simply someone learned enough to instruct others, and the medical sense grew from the idea of one schooled in the science of healing. The 'teaching' root lingers: a doctorate still marks you as one who can profess.
