Etymology
Gymnastics comes from the Greek verb gymnazein and the root gymnos, which mean 'to exercise' and 'naked' because athletes in ancient Greece trained without clothes. The place they trained was called a gymnasium, now shortened to gym, so gymnastics today is about physical exercise, strength and movement.
