Etymology.

The word comes from the Academy in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, Akademos.

Mentorship experience and relationship structure affect the "amount of psychosocial support, career guidance, role modeling, and communication that occurs in the mentoring relationships in which the protégés and mentors engaged.".
