school
🏫🎒 cole = short for colegio, a cousin of English college
Spanish speakers clip colegio to cole in casual speech, the same way English clips mathematics to maths. Colegio and college both come from Latin collegium, a group of people gathered together. In Spain, colegio usually means a primary or secondary school, not a university.
