Course comes from Latin, specifically from the word "cursus" which means "career"; therefore the dictionary of the real Spanish academy states, as one of its main meanings, the word as direction or career, that is to say that it is a direction or route taken or to be taken; or the road, route, or channel through which something moves, for example when speaking of the "course of the current". One of its most common uses is to refer to a type of education that is based on a group of lessons with the purpose of teaching a particular subject; This type of education does not always need to be registered within the official and traditional parameters that make up a career as such; if not that in many opportunities it can be done temporarily for your own interest but of course you do not obtain a title that supports it.
So many times it can be understood that this course is a basic unit of any formal education, but that it is not always official. Several sources expose this inclination of the term as the study about a given subject, which is organized or arranged as a unit. Course is also called that certain space that exists and that a professional or teacher uses to communicate and transmit certain knowledge, studies, instructions, among others, to a certain number of people called students or students. Many times these courses are of utmost importance for people because they are part of their initial education, which often focuses on a particular topic, which if you want is related to what people want as a profession in the future.
Finally, other two meanings shown by the rae to define the word course are: first, to refer to the circulation, propagation or disclosure between people; and second to refer to the movement or circulation of water or any other type of liquid that moves through a riverbed.
