Explanation:
The word "teacher" is the noun form of the verb "teach". The word "teach" derives from the Old English word teacher which means to show, point out, or give instruction. In 1290, the word teacher began to be used for the index finger, or "one that points out". By 1300, it took on its modern meaning, or "one who teaches".
In India, the word guru is widely used with the general meaning of "teacher". "The word guru means teacher in Sanskrit and other Sanskrit-derived languages like Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, etc. The syllable 'gu means darkness and 'ru' means light therefore 'guru' literally means 'the one who brings you from darkness to light'. Thus a guru is one who is regarded as having great knowledge, wisdom, and authority in a certain area, and who uses it to guide others.
