Etymology
The word 'college' originates from the Latin word 'collegium', which means a community, society, or body of collegiates. In ancient times, colleges were primarily institutions of higher learning, typically offering degrees and specialized training. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass a broader range of meanings, including advisory bodies and groups of people with shared interests or responsibilities.
