師し資し

noun

relying on someone as one's teacher

Rare literary noun referring to the act of depending on or following a teacher. Not used in everyday speech; modern Japanese would more naturally use phrases like 師と仰ぐ or 師事する.

• 古こ典てんでは「師し資し」という語ごが師し弟てい関かん係けいの依い存ぞんを表あらわすことがある。

  In classical texts, the word 師資 can express reliance on a teacher-student relationship.
