Ecclesia was Latin, but it originally came from Greek. Haha, when I read that it came from the Latin I freaked out because I'm a total Greek freak, lol! I was like, "AH, NO!!" Lols :P
Ah, those Romans borrowed from the Greeks!
Indeed, my old 1915 English dictionary says the word ecclesiastic came from the Greek word ekklēsia meaning assembly.
In Latin the Greek k is changed to c.
Also, the Old English word, cirice, seems more resonable if you consider c as k. Doing this cirice becomes kirike. And kirike is like kirk, the word for a Scottish church.
