educate
Bring to understanding
To educate is to develop someone's knowledge, skills, or character through instruction or experience.
Schools educate children in academic subjects; parents educate them in values.
The word implies systematic development rather than casual learning: She was educated at Oxford.
To educate yourself is to pursue knowledge independently.
An educated guess draws on relevant knowledge rather than pure speculation.
