OriginLate 16th century: probably from Middle Dutch schōle 'troop'. Compare with school2. school from Old English: The school that children go to derives from Greek skholē ‘leisure, philosophy, place for lectures’, the source also of scholar (Old English).

Here the word comes from early German and Dutch schōle, ‘a troop, multitude’, and comes from the same root as shoal (Old English) and is related to shallow (Late Middle English).
