WUNDERKIND, a word which means young genius, is derived from the German words “wunder” (wonder) and “kind” (child).
When we come across a young child who is as competent as an adult in one or more skills, we marvel as well as wonder how such a child came to be.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was already composing music from the age of 5, when most people are only starting to differentiate notes on the keyboard.
