Sciolist


SCI'OLIST, noun [Latin sciolus, a diminutive formed on scio, to know.]

One who knows little, or who knows many things superficially; a smatterer.

These passages in that book, were enough to humble the presumption of our modern sciolists, if their pride were not as great as their ignorance.
