Sciolist

Brought to you by A Word A Day.

Sciolist (SAI-uh-list) noun. One who engages in pretentious display of superficial knowledge.

[From Late Latin sciolus (smatterer), diminutive of Latin scius (knowing), from scire (to know).

Keeping in mind the old saying “Those who speak do not know; those who know do not speak,” I’m not going to comment too heavily on this one . . . except to say I knew that!
