The word "sophomore" is derived from two others: Sophocles, the Greek writer and philosopher (among other things) and moron (or some similar word from another language), an idiot. Basically, it says you're inbetween being a moron (freshmen) and a more knowledgeable person (upperclassmen). At least that's the explanation my Honors English teacher gave my class my soph. year in high school. And it works for me.
