Etymology
Trampolining comes from the word trampoline, which in Spanish trampolín and Italian trampolino meant a 'springboard' or 'little springboard'. Think of a trampoline as a springy board that pushes you back up, and that is why trampolining means the sport of jumping and doing flips on a trampoline.
