Etymology
Skydiving comes from two clear English words: sky ('the air above us') and diving ('to jump down quickly'), so picture a person diving out of the air like a swimmer dives into water. That's why skydiving means jumping from a plane and doing tricks during the free fall before opening a parachute.
