Etymology
1. Inherited from Latin schola, from Ancient Greek σχολή (skholḗ, “spare time, leisure”, later “conversations and the knowledge gained through them during free time; the places where these conversations took place”).
2. The meaning of "community centre" arose in the late 20th century as rural schools closed due to lack of children and most were reused and are still in use as community or activity centres. See: Latin Nouns '
schola', Latin Nouns '
schola', Ancient Greek Nouns '
σχολή'.
