Etymology

From Renaissance Ancient Greek ?????????????? (enkuklopaideía, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), a mistaken univerbated form of ????????? ??????? (enkúklios paideí?, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from ????????? (enkúklios, “circular”) + ??????? (paideí?, “child-rearing, education”). This spelling seems to have been first used by Paul Skalich in 1559, although the spelling encyclopedia goes back to at least 1517, with a work by Johannes Aventinus.
