This practice goes all the way back to Biblical times. Since most people worked on the weekdays, they would congregate on the Sabbath, not only for prayer, but also to study Torah for many hours. Such "Sabbath-houses", as they were known, existed throughout the Near East in Second Temple times as well. In Talmudic times, the leading Sages would teach the multitude every Sabbath afternoon.

Where did Shabbat originate?

The word is Hebrew, so its origin is Israel (or perhaps more correctly, Judaea). It came into Modern English via Old English sabat, which meant "Saturday", perhaps reflecting the Jewish Sabbath (or day of rest, which reflects the original Hebrew meaning "to rest"). Of course OE got it via Latin.

The institution of the synagogue appears to have emerged either during the Babylonian captivity or in the time between the return from captivity and the early rabbinic period (which is also the time of Jesus).
