Bishops10: Basically, bachelor is the first level of adulthood in terms of becoming a man, so at this stage it is assumed that you have no experience of many things, so it is a stage of learning. This is what first degree stands for. However, second degree is called masters and it's a stage of perfection. You are a master in a game or in life when you have gained a lot of experience. Reason why they call the first degree as bachelor is obviously becos back then more men are into education than women who were majorly known to take care of the home. 168 Likes 15 Shares |

A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to seven years (depending on institution and academic discipline). Historically, there were three standards for academic qualification: Bachelor, Master and Doctor Bacheler (pronounced bash) was firstly the basic qualification for a knight. (The term knight bachelor is also used.) This was a young man who had learned how to bash people and had other attributes (mainly money and family) so that he did not have to work. However, a certain standard of use of arms had been achieved for him to receive this recognition. He had to do more in order to be a full knight with his own standard. As not all young men of good families wanted to spend their time with swords, it began to be used for a man qualified in other areas, such as a Bachelor of Law, or just one of an age and income to be worth marrying. The early versions of universities worked in Latin, so converted the English word to an invented Latin one of baccalaurus, which later led to the baccalaureate. (This is also basically a sort of Latin joke, referring to the laurel crown given to a winner.) A higher level of proficiency was then required for someone to be pronounced a Master. Further achievements allowed some men to be considered sufficiently knowledgeable to be academic teachers, for which the Latin word Doctor (meaning teacher) was applied. This usually meant he had written a book on the subject. Thus universities based on the Western Europe model have degrees of bachelor, master and doctor. Have a great day 68 Likes 5 Shares |

It is named so because they expect you to acquire it before getting married so as not to complicate your life and generations unborn. It is a simple something. Use your head 1 Like |

The term bachelor in the 12th century referred to a knight bachelor, who was too young or poor to gather vassals under his own banner. By the end of the 13th century, it was also used by junior members of guilds or universities. By folk etymology or wordplay, the word baccalaureus came to be associated with bacca lauri ("laurel berry" ![]() Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree 4 Likes 1 Share |
