encyclopaedia (plural encyclopaedias or encyclopaediae)

1. Commonwealth standard spelling of encyclopedia.

• encyclopēdīa (New Latin)

Borrowed from a univerbated form of Ancient Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδείᾱ (enkúklios paideíā, “education in the circle of arts and sciences”), from ἐγκύκλιος (enkúklios, “circular”) + παιδείᾱ (paideíā, “child-rearing, education”). This spelling seems to have been first used by Paul Skalich in 1559, although the spelling encyclopedia goes back to at least 1517, with a work by Johannes Aventinus.
