Παιδεία (transliterated paedeia, pronounced ped-ee-ah)
It is the root for words as paedagogics, paedagogy etc.
Since education is about children, it shares the same root with the word child.
That is the reason why "paed-" is found both in words like paedagogics and in words such as "paedophile" (lover of children).
An unfortunate connection in my opinion.
