Swift .
[
1913 Webster ]
Note :
The schoolmen were often called ,
after their great leader Duns Scotus ,
Dunsmen or Duncemen .
In the revival of learning they were violently opposed to classical studies ;
hence ,
the name of Dunce was applied with scorn and contempt to an opposer of learning ,
or to one slow at learning ,
a dullard .
