Proof you can finish something, handed to you so you can start something harder.
means To complete a course of study and receive formal recognition for it, usually via a degree or diploma.
from From Latin gradus, meaning 'step,' via the medieval Latin gradus—one who has taken a 'step' or degree in academic rank. The same root gives us 'grade,' 'gradual,' and 'progress'—all about moving step by step. A graduate, literally, is someone who has stepped up.
