peer agreement (net): +7"scole" ("schools") Explanation: This is the original version of the modern Italian "scuola" and, like its English cognate "school", derives from the Ancient Greek σχολη', a word that originally meant "leisure" (in the sense of non-productive activity) or "study". If you want to visit the main administrative offices of my old university, you'll find them in the "Old Schools", Trinity Lane, Cambridge. Giles Reference: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/ |
