Why I collected this word

I chose the word 'school' because its meaning has shifted significantly from its origins to the modern time. And we're still using the word school commonly in our daily life.

01 Origin

Ancient Greek · Scholē · leisure -> time free from work · Spare time, leisure, rest, ease, idleness, that in which leisure is employed, learned discussion

02 Change & Context

• Ancient Greek B.C fifth century free time, leisure — Greek word was free time, leisure which passed to 'otiose discussion', also 'a place for lecture'. In those days 'scholē' was not the same with today's meaning 'idle, free time'. To Greek that meaning was 'thinking, communicating, discuss about philosophy and the free time to develop myself get out of labor and obligation duty for survival.

• early 10th century education community, the place teacher and student meet, education place — It was change free time to education community. Because while people share their learns and discuss, the activities people do during that time become a community of people who do that activity. So, it is became group of sharing each learns and discussing. (https://www.etymonline.net/kr/word/scholar)

05 Reflection

I used to think a school is a space of learning. I realize that a long time ago a group of school emphasis a community learning. So I discovered school is not just a place but a education and learning community. So to be exact I realize that school is not just the place to acquisition of knowledge but an interactive learning space,.
