scholastic の語源・成り立ち Etymology
scholastic はフランス語 scholastique を経て、ラテン語 scholasticus、さらにギリシャ語 skholastikos にさかのぼります。語根 skholē は本来「余暇」ですが、「余暇に学ぶこと」から school・scholar と同根になり、学校や学問に関する意味になりました。
Scholastic entered English through French and Latin. Latin scholasticus, “of a school” or “learned,” came from Greek skholastikos, associated with study and learned discussion. Its base, Greek skholē, originally meant leisure and then leisure used for learning, eventually giving rise to words connected with schools and study. School and scholar belong to the same historical family. The educational adjective is normally written with a lowercase initial.
