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 and spiritual dimension through the unique versatility of mind to the material and mechanical dimension in the act of production for the benefit of the world at large, i.e. the greater public whose state of mind is itself the 'constitution' of citizens aspiring to make more fully present a genuine 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’.[1]
