a learner

Morphological NotesNoun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS); direct-object form, masculine gender, singular number.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from μανθάνω (“to learn”) with the agentive suffix -τής, denoting one characterized by learning. The accusative masculine singular form is reflected in English simply as “a learner,” since case is not morphologically marked in English nouns.
