The English word academy comes from the Greek Akademeia, which was a peaceful enclosed grove on an estate near Athens. Plato is reputed to have taught there.

Akademeia was named after Academos, famed for his exploits in the Trojan war.

First recorded in English in the fifteenth century, academy came to mean any place of education.
