Etymology
Gymnastic comes from the old Greek root gymn-, which meant 'naked' because people long ago exercised with little or no clothes in a gymnasium. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a gym where people train their bodies and show physical skill and strength, so gymnastic now means about exercise and great physical agility.
