विज्ञान

vijñān/ʋid͡ʑ.nan/

Science in Marathi is विज्ञान (vijñān).

The term refers to the collective discipline of learning acquired through the scientific method.

Meaning: collective discipline of learning acquired through the scientific method (noun)

What does it mean word for word?

The word is a compound of 'वि' (vi), a prefix often denoting distinction or specialness and 'ज्ञान' (jñān), meaning knowledge.

The word is pronounced as vijñān. The sound /i/ is like the [i] in happ[y], the /dʑ/ is like the [j] in [j]azz and the /n/ is like the [n] in [n]ot.

The root word ज्ञान in विज्ञान is used in Marathi to describe both academic knowledge and spiritual enlightenment. This means the same root serves both the empirical science and the pursuit of liberation.
In colloquial Marathi, if someone is being 'too smart' or acting like a know-it-all, they might be teased using words related to ज्ञान (jñān) in a sarcastic way.
In Marathi, the concept of 'science' can be split between विज्ञान, the systematic study, and शास्त्र, which refers more to a treatise or a traditional branch of knowledge.
