To give or pass something to someone else; to share knowledge, information, or a quality.
From Latin 'impartire,' combining 'in-' (into) with 'partire' (to divide). The word originally meant 'to give a share' and evolved to mean sharing any kind of knowledge or quality.
Teachers don't just 'give' information—they 'impart' it, suggesting that knowledge is shared gradually like passing something precious hand-to-hand. This word carries dignity and intentionality that 'give' doesn't.
