The functions of an '''Editor''' are manifest in the close relation to [[Education]], L. ''edu-care, to lead forth from within''. However, where education entails a discretely personal i.e. spiritual process, the function of 'editing' enjoins this personal dimension through the domain of [[mind]] to the material and mechanical in an act of production for the benefit of the world at large, i.e. the greater [[public]] whose state of mind is the [[constitution]] of any aspiring to be a [[re-public]].
----
From [[Latin]] [[editionem]] - [[nominative]]; [[editio]] ‘a bringing forth, producing’, from stem of [[edere]], ‘bring forth, produce’, from [[ex]]-, ‘out’ + -[[dere]], combining form of [[dare]], ‘to give’.[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/editor]
