Etymology
The word parkour comes from the French parcours, which means 'course' or 'route' and was used in the phrase 'parcours du combattant' for an 'obstacle course'. So parkour is about moving through a course, running, jumping and climbing over obstacles quickly and efficiently, not about going to a 'park'.
