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.”
