Etymology
Borrowed from French encyclopédie, from Middle French [Term?], from New Latin encyclopaedīa, from a univerbated form of Koine Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδείᾱ (enkúklios paideíā, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from ἐγκύκλιος (enkúklios, “circular”) + παιδείᾱ (paideíā, “child-rearing, education”). See: French Nouns '
encyclopédie'.
