A polymath (Greek polymathēs, πολυμαθής, meaning "having learned much,"[1]), Renaissance man or Homo universalis are common terms to describe a person well educated, or who excels, in a wide variety of subjects or fields.[2][3][4] Polymaths also are described as persons with encyclopedic, broad, or varied knowledge or learning.[5][6][7][8][9] The term is used rarely enough to be included in dictionaries of obscure words.[10][11]
