Studious

Studious: verb. To study, read or gain knowledge with a large amount of effort, will or determination. The origin of this word comes either from Kent, Surrey or Hertfordshire, but it is uncertain as to exactly where. It has been observed in the 19th, 20th and 21st century that pupils, students and probationers have been studiousing less and less, and rather have reverted to studying, listening or simply ignoring. It is important that schools, colleges and universities encourage their alumni, trainees, and novices to studious more rather than ignoring the importance of a quality education, learning, or apprenticeship.
