Tæcan

I should really update this once a day at least, there's so many words I see and use each day; it wouldn't exactly be difficult. Anyway getting to the point, I just looked up the word teacher and it lead me to the word "Tæcan" which means to point out in old English apparently, I'll copy and paste the Wiktionary link:
