Morphology

schooling = school (transparent) = school + ing

Derived from the verb 'school' meaning 'to train'; the application to animals is a direct extension of that verb.

Etymology

Schooling comes from school, an old word that meant 'a place to learn'. That's why schooling can also mean the training of an animal — it is the animal being taught and learning new skills.
