From shul (“Ashkenazi synagogue”) + goer. Shul is borrowed from Yiddish שול (shul, “school; synagogue”), from Old High German scuola (“school”), from Latin schola (“school”), from Ancient Greek σχολή (skholḗ, “place for giving lectures, lecture hall, school”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *seǵʰ- (“to overpower; to take hold of”). Piecewise doublet of schoolgoer.
