Etymology
abnorm + skole, first part from Latin abnōrmis (“departing from normal”), from both ab- (“away from, off”), from ab (“from, away from, of”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”), and from nōrma (“norm, standard; rule, precept”) (with the suffix -is), from Etruscan, from Ancient Greek γνώμων (gnṓmōn, “examiner, carpenter's square”), from γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō, “to be aware of”) (with the suffix -μων (-mōn, “to be aware of”), from Proto-Indo-European *-mō), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵiǵneh₃- (with the suffix -σκω (-skō), from Proto-Indo-European *-sḱéti), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵneh₃- (“to know”). Last part Danish skole, from Old Norse skóli, through Middle Low German schole and Latin schola (“school”), from Ancient Greek σχολή (skholḗ, “leisure, free time; school”), from Proto-Hellenic *skʰolā́, from Proto-Indo-European *sǵʰ-h₃-léh₂, from *seǵʰ- (“to hold, overpower”).
