Is this some word that's commonly used in some English speaking countries? I'm a native speaker and have never heard or seen this word ever being used.
The only people that are wont to use this are either somewhat pretentious/want to sound learned, or are using it for old timey comedic effect.
Learned is another word for wise or well taught, before anyone asks. It's said 'Learned', not 'learn-ed'.
As far as I know it's not commonly used anywhere, and is mostly used for effect.
I think it used to be more common in my parents' generation.
