An avid follower and student of any teacher or philosopher. The most famous of which were the 12 disciples that followed Jesus, a teacher and philosopher, the Son of God.

Catholic Answerfrom Modern Catholic Dictionary byJohn A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Disciple. One who is learning or has learned. In the New Testament the word describes any follower of Jesus teaching (Matthew 10:1). During His public ministry it referred as well to his twelve chosen aides, but in the Acts of the Apostles they are always referred to as Apostles (Acts 1:26). (Etym. Latin discipulus, pupil, follower.)

A disciple is a taught one, a learner, a pupil. The Hebrew word for a disciple (lim‧mudh′) basically refers to one who learns, is taught, or is trained.

A Disciple is one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another: as

a: one of the twelve in the inner circle of Christ's followers according to the Gospel accounts

The twelve disciples followed Jesus Christ, learned from Him, and were trained by Him. After His resurrection and ascension, Jesus sent the disciples out to be His witnesses (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8)

b: a convinced adherent of a school or individual

Ans: Disciple means the main elements from what the our body made up..For all there is 11 disciples always. The 12th is Judas (Driving force call desire) .
