'school' is the definition.
(famous UK public school)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eton that I've seen before include "Easy to understand" , "Kind of collar or jacket (worn at college?)" , "Posh British public school" , "Note sent up to English public school" , "Posh English school of note" .)
