Paid in gratitude decades late, if at all.
means A person who teaches or trains others, especially as a profession.
from From Latin 'educare,' meaning 'to bring up, rear, train' — itself connected to 'educere,' 'to lead out,' from 'e-' (out) plus 'ducere' (to lead). The word carries that old literal image of leading young minds out and forward, though English didn't borrow 'educator' itself from Latin directly until the word had already passed through French; the '-ator' ending marks it as one who performs the act, same family as 'creator' or 'narrator.'
