Definition
Relating to or suitable for learning; educational and useful for instruction or self-improvement.
Etymology
From Greek 'chrestomatheia' (selection of useful passages for learning), from 'chrestos' (useful) and 'manthanein' (to learn). Describes materials meant for education.
Kelly Says
Chrestomathies were the original 'greatest hits' collections—before streaming and TED talks, scholars assembled useful excerpts to show others what was worth reading and learning.
