/mwaˈlimu/

Origin: A borrowing from Swahili. Etymon: Swahili mwalimu.

Etymology: < Swahili mwalimu teacher, scholar, also used as a title or form of address < Arabic muʿallim teacher, learned person (see mallam n.).The plural form mwalimus developed within English. The Swahili plural is walimu , suggesting that the initial mw- (reflecting the Arabic participial prefix mu- ) was reinterpreted as Swahili mw- , singular class prefix denoting a person. The word was also used specifically (in both Swahili and English) as the honorific title of Julius Nyerere, the first president of Tanzania (1965–85; compare quot. 2019).
