Etymology

From educated + -ness (noun suffix). Educated comes from Latin educatus, past participle of educare.

Kelly Says

While 'education' is an institution and process, 'educatedness' is a personal state—it's the lingering condition education leaves on a person, what remains after the classroom ends, almost like a social marker.
