Docere

Latin for "to teach"

Docere is a Latin word that means to instruct, teach, or point out. Cicero first introduced this term in his book De Oratore. Cicero wrote this book in 55 BC as a dialogue to describe the ideal speaker and imagine him as a moral guidance of the state. He suggested that there are three duties or goals of rhetoric. He described these as 'to teach, to delight and to move'. Cicero breaks down the term Docere further and summarizes that 'to teach' means to provide truth through rational argument and statement of facts.
