Etymology
Quidditch for the real sport comes directly from the Harry Potter books, where the same name was used for the flying broomstick game. Fans who made a ground version kept the name Quidditch to show the link to the stories. That's why Quidditch now means both the fictional flying game and the real, broom-based team game.
