didicit

Didicit is a Latin verb form meaning "he has learned" or "he learned." It is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of discere, "to learn." The perfect stem is didic-, and the standard ending for the third person singular is -it, giving didicit.

In Latin, didicit conveys a completed action with present or past relevance, depending on context. It is commonly used with a direct object such as a language, skill, or body of knowledge: Didicit linguam Latinam, "he has learned the Latin language." The infinitive form is didicisse, "to have learned," and the perfect infinitive didicisse corresponds to the English "to have learned." The form should not be confused with the present form dicit, "he says," which comes from a different verb (dicere).
