👉 Sorbonist is a term in English language that refers to a person who specializes in studying or teaching Latin, Greek, and Roman languages. The term has its origin from the Latin word "sorbo" which means "ring," referring to the ancient Roman ring-shaped tool used for measuring coins. The term was originally applied to scholars who studied these languages extensively, but over time it became associated with a particular type of educational institution called a Sorbonne.
