the.com/tuition
The price of admission to debt, paid in hope and installments.
means The fee charged for instruction, especially at a school, college, or university.
from From Latin tuitio, meaning 'protection' or 'guardianship,' from tueri, 'to watch over or guard.' The word originally had nothing to do with money — it meant the care and instruction given to a student, the watchful guardianship of a teacher over a pupil's learning. Only later did English narrow it to mean the fee charged for that guardianship, letting the price stand in for the whole relationship.
