Ephebeum

/ˌɛfɪˈbeɪəm/ noun

Definition

A variant or Latinized form possibly referring to the ephebeia institution, facility, or related concept in ancient Greek youth training.

Etymology

A Latinized form of the Greek 'ephebeia' or 'ephebeion,' using the Latin neuter singular ending '-um.' Such forms appear in Roman-era texts and Latin translations of Greek works about Greek institutions.

Kelly Says

When Romans conquered Greece, they borrowed the term 'ephebeum' to describe Greek-style youth training—it shows how impressed they were with the Greek system, even adopting the Greek word rather than translating it.
