Explaining something until someone else's confusion becomes your personal problem.
means The act of helping someone learn, by sharing knowledge or skill so they can understand or do something they couldn't before.
from From Old English 'tæcan', meaning to show, point out, or demonstrate — the same root gives us 'token', literally a sign or symbol. So teaching, at its root, isn't about talking; it's about pointing something out and making a sign so clear that another mind can grasp it too.
