    • I dont no, I wonder who started that one.
    Recess is like play time, a time to "get away from it all". So when kids go to play at recess, they play in the park to unwind from learning calculus and physics. lol
    1531, "act of receding," from L. recessus "a going back, retreat," from recessum, pp. of recedere "to recede" (see recede). Meaning "hidden or remote part" first recorded 1616; that of "period of stopping from usual work" is from 1620, probably from parliamentary notion of "recessing" into private chambers. The verb is from 1809.
