拼寫俗化自 sophumer,辯論者，來自 sophume,古拼寫形式于 sophism,辯論，詭辯。后用于指 大學(xué)二年級(jí)學(xué)生或高中二年級(jí)學(xué)生，可能來自這一階段的學(xué)習(xí)中所包含的辯論技巧學(xué)習(xí)，如 現(xiàn)在本科教育大二進(jìn)行的論文寫作練習(xí)。拼寫俗化可以受俗詞源影響，來自希臘語 sophos, 聰明的，智慧的，moros,笨蛋，弱智，詞源同 moron,oxymoron.或簡(jiǎn)單的 more,更加，即變得 稍微聰明一點(diǎn)。

sophomore (n.)

1680s, "student in the second year of university study," literally "arguer," altered from sophumer (1650s, from sophume, archaic variant form of sophism), probably by influence of folk etymology derivation from Greek sophos "wise" + moros "foolish, dull." The original reference might be to the dialectic exercises that formed a large part of education in the middle years. At Oxford and Cambridge, a sophister (from sophist with spurious -er as in philosopher) was a second- or third-year student (what Americans would call a "junior" might be a senior sophister).
