Discipled

/ˈdɪs.ə.pəld/ verb

Definition

Trained, taught, or instructed as a disciple; converted or recruited to follow a particular philosophy or leader.

Etymology

From disciple + -ed (past participle), with disciple coming from Latin discipulus (learner), from discere (to learn), meaning one who receives instruction.

Kelly Says

Jesus discipled twelve people, and the word 'disciple' fundamentally means 'learner'—it's related to 'discipline' and 'discord', all from Latin roots about learning and order!
