“pedantic” has, as its root, ‘pedantry’; Having to do with, and about, children.
Used in a sentence, “This discussion has become rather pedantic.”

Pedantry’s root is more from pedagogy, the method of teaching.
It is the correction of small errors (pedantic) similar to grammar Nazi. This post is an example.
