Definition
Serving to instruct, improve, or uplift someone morally or intellectually; enlightening and morally strengthening.
Etymology
Present participle of edify used as an adjective. The form became increasingly common in the 17th and 18th centuries as the adjective sense separated from the verbal sense.
Kelly Says
Edifying is that particular kind of 'feel-good' that comes from learning something meaningful rather than just being entertained—like the difference between a concert and a thought-provoking documentary.
