/liˈθeo/

noun, masculine/liˈθeo/plural: liceos

secondary school, high school (in some countries)

Synonyms: secundaria, escuela secundaria, instituto

Borrowed from Latin lyceum, from Ancient Greek Λύκειον (Lúkeion) (the name of a gymnasium, or athletic training facility, near Athens where Aristotle established his school), from Λύκειος ("Lycian" or "wolf-killer"). Probably influenced or derived directly from French lycée.
