Etymology
Școală descends from Latin schola, itself borrowed from Greek scholē, which originally meant leisure or free time devoted to learning. Romanian likely received the word through a Slavic intermediary, since the form matches Old Church Slavonic škola rather than a direct Latin line. The sense narrowed over time from leisure for study to the institution where study happens.
