From the Latin tutela (protection). Originally it was in the sense of serfs and peasants under the protection of their lord, but it morphed into the sense of a teacher and instruction.

And here at GA we're under the tutelage of Myr and Cia whenever problems arise on the site.   And Valkyrie supplies the tutelage when it has anything to do with Anthologies.

Baker Mayfield's career was a disaster until he got to LA. Under Sean McVay's tutelage, he's improved his numbers across the board. Good coaching matters. Mayfield may not be a starter next year, but it won't hurt him to carry a clipboard and learn.

Remember in school when you had to take your list of vocabulary words and write a paragraph with all of them in it? Should try that with WotDs a week at a time. That would stretch my writing muscles.
