In English, 1688, "student in the second year of university study," literally "arguer," altered from sophumer; 1653, from sophume, archaic variant form of sophist, probably by influence of folk etymology derivation from Greek sophos "wise" + moros "foolish, dull" colloquially "slightly more wise than dull"
