The process of gaining knowledge or skills through study, practice, or experience. It can also mean the knowledge that someone has gained over time.
Built from the verb *learn* plus the noun-forming ending *-ing*, which turns actions into things. It has roots in Old English *leornian*, keeping the sense of an ongoing journey toward knowledge.
We often treat learning like a product—grades, certificates, test scores—but the word itself is about a process that never really ends. You’re not a container being filled; you’re a system that keeps rewiring itself.
