no, but


Explanation:
most of the English google "edult"s seem to be misspellings of adult.

Is that any help?

Without at least some context this might be a tricky one.

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: "Edukt" is a possibility, as K and L are next to one another on keyboard

  -> Maybe but I can not imagine it since I use Turkish F keyboard,
agree  Gillian Scheibelein: most probably, educt is the starting material if that helps with the context
