Using PUPIL in a sentence
In anatomy, the pupil is the aperture that lets light in, and doctors talk about pupils that are dilated, constricted or reactive. In school language, a pupil is a student, more common in British English than American, where student usually wins for older kids. You can be a pupil of a teacher or of a tradition: "a pupil of Bach." The adjective pupillary shows up in medical writing. Pairings to remember: pupil diameter, former pupil, and the classroom phrase "teacher and pupils."
