Etymology
The word comes from the triliteral Arabic root د-ر-س (d-r-s), meaning to study or learn. From this root comes مَدْرَسَة (madrasa), a place-noun meaning school, literally a place where studying happens. Adding the nisba suffix -iyy turns the noun into the adjective مَدْرَسِيّ, meaning of or belonging to a school. This is a native Semitic formation, with no link to Indo-European roots.
