Etymology
The word EdD is a short form of Doctor of Education. Ed is short for 'education', from the Latin educare meaning 'to lead out', and D stands for 'doctor', a word that originally meant 'teacher'. So an EdD is a top university degree for people who lead, teach, and work to improve education.
