From the word’s history

From Greek Akademeia, a sacred grove outside Athens named after the hero Akademos, where Plato set up his school around 387 BCE; the grove's name became the word for any place of higher learning.

源自希臘文 Akadēmeia——雅典城外一片以英雄 Akademos 為名的聖林，柏拉圖約在西元前387年在那裡設立學校；那片樹林的名字後來就成了『做高深學問的地方』的通稱。
