Etymology
From Old Irish scol (compare Scottish Gaelic sgoil), from Latin schola, from Ancient Greek σχολή (skholḗ). The sense “school of fish” is either a borrowing from Middle English scole, schole (in the relevant sense), from Middle Dutch scole (“swarm of animals”), from Proto-West Germanic *skulu (“troop, group”); or a semantic loan from English school under the mistaken assumption that the “group of fish” sense is etymologically identical to the “educational institution” sense. See: Latin Nouns '
schola', Ancient Greek Nouns '
σχολή', Middle English Nouns '
scole'.
