Etymology.

The word comes from the Academy in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, Akademos.

Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning.

The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe.".

or pupil is a learner or someone who attends an educational institution.

In Britain those attending university are termed "students".

In the United States, and more recently also in Britain, the term "student" is applied to both categories.

In its widest use, student is used for anyone who is learning, including mid-career adults who are taking vocational education or returning to university.

When speaking about learning outside an institution, "student" is also used to refer to someone who is learning a topic or who is "a student of" a certain topic or person.

An alumnus (masculine, plural alumni), an alumna (feminine, plural alumnae), or an alumnum (neuter, plural alumna) is a former student or pupil of a school, college, or university.

Commonly, but not always, the word refers to a graduate of the educational institute in question.

An alumnus can also be a former member, employee, contributor, or inmate, as well as a former student.
