I found that it is derived from the ancient Greek word, Skhole, which meant either leisure, or the things done in one's leisure time, or the place where one spent one's leisure time. In particular, it was a word used to describe learned discussions and disputations that took place between a teacher and their students.

The word "school" comes from the Latin word "schola," which originally meant "leisure for learning" or "place for discussion." It evolved over time to refer to an institution for education and learning.
