What does SCHOOL mean in Scrabble?
noun
An institution where people, especially children, are taught; also a group of followers sharing a method or style, or a large group of fish or sea mammals swimming together.
School is one of the oldest everyday English words and traces back through Latin to Greek skhole, which first meant leisure and only later came to mean a place for learning. The fish sense is a separate word altogether, related to shoal, though the two ended up spelled alike. Beyond buildings, a school can be a faculty within a university, or a circle of artists and thinkers, as in the Impressionist school. As a verb it means to train someone thoroughly.
How SCHOOL is used
Extremely common; the fish and the artistic-movement senses are met in nature writing and criticism.
