Sophomore 1. a. A second-year student in a U.S. college. b. A tenth-grade student in a U.S. high school. 2. A person in the second year of carrying out an endeavor. The word was probably introduced into the United States at an early date, from the University of Cambridge, England. Among the cant terms at that university, as given in the Gradus ad Cantabrigiam, we find Soph-Mor as 'the next distinctive appellation to Freshman,' but the term has now almost ceased to be known at the English university from whence it came.%5D One belonging to the second of the four classes in an American college, or one next above a freshman. http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=sophomore Canadians don't use a specific word referring to their second year of post secondary education, they refer to it as their second year of college or university. The following source mentions that briefly, but my best source is family, friends and myself. We never used the word sophomore. Canadians consider it an American term. http://www.cicic.ca/postsec/indexe.stm If sophomore is the correct answer, the question should read 'What nine letter word is applied to a second year student in AN AMERICAN college or university ?'
