• APPRENTICE

1. discipulus artificia or magistri (v. Cic., De Or., 3, 9, 35): puer discens (both for pupil generally; the latter, if he is a lad under seventeen): tiro (one still a beginner in his art): tabernae alumnus (pupil, lad, etc., of a handicraftsman or shopkeeper; e.g., tabernae sutrinae alumnus, a shoemaker’s apprentice). ☞ None of these words fully express our notion of an apprentice: perhaps ab aliquo in disciplinam receptus, or ab aliquo in disciplinam sollemni ritu receptus. To receive a lad as one’s apprentice, puerum sollemni ritu in disciplinam recipere.

2. v. puerum tradere opifici in disciplinam (of the father, etc.): dare puerum in tabernam opificis.
