vt. to train or discipline someone
The word "school" originates from the Greek scholē, meaning "leisure" or "discussion in leisure." In ancient Greece, education was associated with free time devoted to learning. The term evolved into Latin schola, then Old English scōl, referring to a place of instruction. The secondary meaning, "a group of fish," derives from Middle Dutch schole (a crowd or troop), likely due to the collective movement of fish resembling organized learning.
