Etymology
"Scoală" is an inflected form of the Romanian verb "a se scula", meaning to get oneself up or to rouse someone. The verb comes from popular Latin "excitulare", built on "excitare" ("to rouse, wake up"), itself formed from "ex-" and "citare" ("to set in motion, summon"). Other Romance languages kept closer descendants of "excitare" but shifted the meaning toward "to excite" rather than "to get up".
