Is erudite an insult?
I heard someone calling another person 'erudite' in a conversation, and I'm wondering if it was meant as an insult. I want to understand if 'erudite' is generally considered a derogatory term or a compliment.
Does erudite mean smart?
I was reading an article and encountered the word 'erudite'. I'm not sure if it means the same as 'smart'. Can someone explain if 'erudite' and 'smart' are interchangeable or if they have different meanings?
