talent scout[edit]
@SemperBlotto can't find anything related to that sense, maybe it got added by mistake? if not, can you provide a citation? – Jberkel 20:11, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- It was added seven years ago. I have no idea where I found it. SemperBlotto (talk) 20:15, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
- But see [1] and [2]
- the links indicates that pigmalione can be used as synonym for the Italian borrowing talent-scout, hinting that a talent scout could act as mentor (although I would argue that their main job is finding talent, not mentoring). It doesn't seem to warrant a separate sense for pigmalione. – Jberkel 21:48, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
