Etymology
The word gymnast comes from the Greek root gymnos, meaning 'naked', and from gymnasium, the place where athletes trained. In ancient Greece people often exercised 'naked' in the gymnasium, so a gymnast is someone who trains and moves skillfully, which is why today it means an athlete who performs gymnastics.
