Etymology
The word pedagogical comes from the Greek parts pais ('child') and agogos ('leader'), because a teacher was once a person who led or looked after children on their way to school. You can see the same 'paed-' in pediatrician, so pedagogical means 'about teaching and education', or the ways teachers teach.
