One who makes a display of his learning

A pedant is someone who excessively emphasizes minor details, technicalities, or book learning in an annoying or narrow way. They often display their knowledge to show superiority rather than to genuinely educate. Unlike a sophist (who uses clever but false arguments) or a cynic (who distrusts human motives), a pedant specifically shows off learning.
