Best Answer

A font also refers to a 'baptismal font' or the font of an oil lamp which holds the oil. In referring to a 'font of knowledge' I envision a large pool (of knowledge) from which one can draw greater understanding from, like the act of baptism or lighting a lamp.

The person who answered font is incorrect, I'm afraid. Font of knowledge is known as a Mondegreen - a phrase born from misinterpreting the correct meaning. See below for the correct answer - Fount of Knowledge.

The person who answered 'font' is incorrect, I'm afraid. Font of knowledge is known as a Mondegreen - a phrase born from misinterpreting the correct meaning. The term you're looking for is 'Fount of knowledge' If you picture a church font, it's a large stone bowl-like structure containing holy water for baptising ceremonies. Crucially, water in a baptismal font is still. The image of a fountain with jets of water spurting in the air depicts the idea of abundance – fitting for the idea of someone (or something) with an abundance of knowledge or wisdom.

@NatWisozk. Then supply some evidence or at least back up your "I'm not sure..." with something approaching rigour.
