It's difficult to imagine a tyro publishing a book on medical procedures or economic theory. --Philip Zaleski, "God Help the Spiritual Writer," [1]New York Times, January 10, 1999 He was a sensitive, fine soul alert to the pleasures of being green, a tyro, an amateur, unwilling to close his mind before it had been tempted. --Paul West, Sporting With Amaryllis And, though we were mere tyros, beginners, utterly insignificant, he was invariably as kind and considerate and thoughtful, and as lavish in the gift of his time, as though he had nothing else to do. --Leonard Warren, Joseph Leidy: The Last Man Who Knew Everything _________________________________________________________ Tyro is from Latin tiro, "a young soldier, a recruit," hence "a beginner, a learner."
