231: phd, md, and jd Jul 27, 2015

Written By Emmett Stone
In the United States there are many different titles, even more in other countries. These honorifics all have derivations, and not everyone knows whence these words come.All of these words have Latin origins; PhD stands for "philosopiae doctor [doctor of philosophy]", MD stands for "medicinae doctor [doctor of medicine]", and JD stands for "juris doctor [doctor of law]"
