How it's used

This idiom is highly formal and carries a strong sense of reverence for someone with profound academic knowledge. It is rarely used in casual conversation and is more likely to appear in written tributes, formal introductions, or when describing historical figures. Using it to describe a friend or colleague in a daily setting would sound overly dramatic or sarcastic.
