Etymology

The word "school-based" is a compound adjective formed by combining "school" (from Old English "scōl," derived from Latin "schola," meaning "place of learning") and "based" (from Old French "baser," meaning "to establish or ground"). The hyphenated form emerged in modern English to clearly denote activities or programs rooted in or centered around schools. The morphemes retain their original spellings, ensuring transparency for learners.
