From Old Swedish skula, from Old Norse skulu, from Proto-Germanic *skulaną.

skola (present ska or skall, preterite skulle, supine skolat)

1. shall, will, be going to; used in the present tense (ska or skall) with a main verb in the infinitive to give the future tense, mostly intended future, or used in the past tense (skulle) with a main verb in the infinitive to express the conditional mood or the future of the past.

   jag ska äta ― I shall eat

   jag skulle äta, om... ― I would eat, if...

   jag skulle just äta när... ― I was just going to eat when...

   jag skulle ha ätit färdigt innan... ― I should have finished eating before...

By semantic reasons, this verb hardly ever appears in the infinitive, therefore the infinitive is unknown to many or perceived as archaic. The perception of the infinitive as archaic may also be a consequence of the fact that it once also was the form of the present tense used for plural subjects.

The short form of skall is ska and is more commonly used; however, skall is used in the expression vad som komma skall (“what is to come”), the grammar of which is very dated.

From Old Norse skóli, from Proto-Germanic *skōla (“school”), from Late Latin schola, scola (“learned discussion or dissertation, lecture, school”), from Ancient Greek σχολεῖον (skholeîon), from σχολή (skholḗ, “spare time, leisure”, later, “conversations and the knowledge gained through them during free time; the places where these conversations took place”), from Proto-Indo-European *seǵhe-, *sǵhē- (“to hold, have, possess”).
