Relating to or belonging to an archidascalus, a chief teacher or master teacher in ancient or medieval institutions.
From 'archididascalos' (Greek 'archi-' chief plus 'didaskos' teacher) with Latin suffix '-ian'. This rare term comes from Greek educational hierarchy terminology.
This word reveals that ancient Greeks and medieval scholars had formal ranks of teachers—the head teacher held a special status much like how a university president outranks regular professors today.
