Origin

Late Middle English (denoting the garden where Plato taught): from French académie or Latin academia, from Greek akadēmeia, from Akadēmos, the hero after whom Plato's garden was named.

An academy today is a place of learning or culture. It is fitting, then, that the word originated with one of the most influential scholars who ever lived, the Greek philosopher Plato. During the 4th century bc he taught in a garden in Athens called the Akadēmeia, which was named after an ancient hero called Akadēmos. It gave its name to the school Plato founded, the Academy.
