Etymology:
Meaning:
A house or building where teachers live, especially on the grounds of a boarding school.
Origin:
The term "teacherage" originated in the mid-19th century in the United Kingdom. At the time, boarding schools were common, and it was often necessary for teachers to live on campus to supervise students outside of class hours. To accommodate these teachers, buildings known as "teacherages" were constructed. The term quickly spread to other English-speaking countries, including the United States and Australia.
Usage:
Teacherages are typically owned and maintained by the school or educational institution. They may provide housing for both single and married teachers, as well as their families. In some cases, teacherages may also include common areas, such as dining rooms or lounges, for the teachers to use.
The term "teacherage" is still commonly used today, although it may also be referred to as "faculty housing" or "teacher accommodation."
