the brain rewiring itself in real time, no permission slip required.
means the process of gaining knowledge, skills, or understanding through study, experience, or being taught.
from From Old English 'leornian,' to acquire knowledge or be taught. It shares deep roots with the Germanic family — a cousin of words tied to following a track or finding a path. That same source possibly underlies the word 'last,' as in the cobbler's foot-shaped form: the line of thinking is that learning is, quite literally, following a track laid down, treading a route until the way becomes known.
