Etymology
The word "l'école" comes from the Latin word 'schola,' meaning a place of learning or lecture. This Latin term was adopted into Old French as 'escole,' which evolved into the modern French 'école.' Did you know that the original Latin 'schola' was borrowed from the Greek 'skholē,' which surprisingly meant 'leisure' or 'spare time' before it came to mean a place for learning?
