encyclopedia. Statesman-scholar Sir Thomas Elyot (1499?– 1546), whose translations helped popularize the Greek classics in England, coined the word encyclopedia from the Greek en kyklos, “in a circle,” and paedia, “teaching of children,” the two words possibly suggesting to him “some kind of universal classroom or round table,” as someone has suggested. Elyot also naturalized the Greek democratia into democracy and was the first to use education (Latin educare, “to raise a child”) in its modern sense.
