To gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, or experiencing something. It can also mean to find out information you did not know before.
From Old English *leornian* meaning “to study, read, or get knowledge.” It is related to German *lernen* and Dutch *leren*, all pointing to the idea of following a path toward knowledge.
Originally, learning was closely tied to following and tracking—almost like following footprints of knowledge. When you learn, you’re literally walking a mental path that others have walked before you.
