Proof that watching the master fail teaches more than watching them win.
means A person learning a trade or craft by working under a skilled master for a set period, usually for low pay and high lessons.
from From Old French 'aprentis,' from the verb 'aprendre' — to learn — which traces back to Latin 'apprehendere,' 'to grasp, lay hold of' (the same root behind 'apprehend' and 'comprehend'). So at its core an apprentice is simply one who is grasping at knowledge — literally taking hold of a skill with both hands.
