Dictionary of Problem Words in English

academic

This term relating to the characteristics

and qualities of a school (academy)

provides an example of

how words acquire associatedand extended meanings.

Because academic refers to formal education and scholarship,

it has come to mean “conventional” and “traditional.”

In fact, an academic person is sometimes

considered as being so unaware of the outside world

that he lives in an ivory tower.

Thus, the word also means “speculative” or “theoretical,”

not “actual” or “realistic”:

“I took only an academic interest in the progress of the campaign.”
