Etymology

The word 'course' originates from the Latin 'cursus', meaning 'a running' or 'a race', and is related to 'currere', which means 'to run'. The term evolved in Middle English as 'corse', indicating a path or direction. Over time, it has taken on meanings associated with education, as in a series of lessons or parameters for learning. By the 14th century, 'course' was commonly used in academic contexts to describe a structured set of topics or a program leading to knowledge or skill acquisition. The verb 'to course' reflects the idea of proceeding along a designated path or following a specific trajectory.
