A schedule is a plan that shows when events or tasks will happen.
From Old French “cedule” meaning “list” or “slip of paper,” from Latin “schedula,” a diminutive of “scheda” meaning “leaf” or “sheet of paper.” It moved from meaning a small written list to an organized plan of times.
The US and UK not only pronounce “schedule” differently, they also sometimes treat time differently—think of trains, meetings, and punctuality stereotypes. The word reminds you that time is something cultures organize in their own ways.
