'scholarliness' originates from the word 'scholar,' which comes from the Old English 'scolere,' derived from the Latin 'scholaris,' meaning 'of a school.'

'scholaris' transformed into the Old English word 'scolere,' and eventually became the modern English word 'scholar.'

Initially, it meant 'a student or one who attends school,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a learned person.'
