No, RCC theology was developed using Latin. Christian theology was developed around Hebrew and Greek. That apostles did not write in Latin.
>>while not in the New Testament, is much older than you would give.<<
Um, the point is that the concept of what many people think today as “church” was not a concept that was used in the time of the apostles. I don’t care “how old it is”. What the apostles taught is what is to be believed. Nothing else.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8-9
Do you believe anything that the apostles didn’t teach?
I said Christian theology, not the Christian Scriptures. The concept of the ecclesia in the Latin church is the same as ἐκκλησία in the Greek church.

No, the point is that the word church is only what English speakers use to render ἐκκλησία/ecclesia which is found in the New Testament. Its etymological derivation is meaningless since the Christian understanding of ἐκκλησία/ecclesia/church predates the English language.
