A "philomath" is someone who loves learning or is a lover of learning and knowledge. The suffix "-ian" can be added to denote belonging to or being related to, commonly used for denoting a native of a place or a member of a group. So, a "Philomathian" would be a student who has progressed beyond the basics and now demonstrates a love for learning and a deeper pursuit of knowledge, fitting for a third-year student who is choosing to specialize further in their studies.

Philos, meaning "loving" in Greek, often used in the context of affection or affinity for something.
