A "philomath" is someone who loves learning or is a lover of learning and knowledge. The suffix "-ian" can be added to denote belonging to or being related to, commonly used for denoting a native of a place or a member of a group. So, a "Philomathian" would be a student who has progressed beyond the basics and now demonstrates a love for learning and a deeper pursuit of knowledge, fitting for a third-year student who is choosing to specialize further in their studies. It comes from joining Philos and Mathe together. Philos, meaning "loving" in Greek, often used in the context of affection or affinity for something. Mathē, meaning "learning" or "knowledge" in Greek.
