A word a day

I am going to do a series of A WORD A DAY that focuses on Words to Describe People.

the first word is:

opsimath (OP-si-math)

noun One who begins learning late in life.

From Greek opsi- (late) + math (learning).

“Maybe they just cannot bring themselves to break the news to our presidential opsimath—after all, a politician can learn only so much in four years, even one who has had as much to learn

as our Jimmy Carter.”

—Washington Post
