The old world BODY has many uses and meanings and is clearly the oldest word. Body snatcher is a funny term. I remember a character in Dickens who was a body snatcher called himself a “resurrectionist!”. Then there are many Latin/Romance synonyms related to the latin word “CORPUS” (body). Many of these are medical, legal or military. The Greek works are technical and academic most people will not readily know these word unless they are in the medical field.

Essay #3 Of course, most our words having to do with education or schools are Latin or Greek in origin but there are curiosities. A “Lore” house was originally a gloss on the Latin word school in other words a place where traditions were taught. And a “School of fish” is not, of course, a school at all but a shoal or group of fish. I would think the expression “shoal of fish” is the original expression.
