athlete

athlete (ăthʹlēt) noun

Abbr. athl.

A person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility, and endurance, that are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts.

[Middle English, from Latin athlēta, from Greek athlētēs, contestant, from athlein, to contend, possibly from athlos, contest.]

Word History: Athletes who believe that winning is the most important aspect of athletics have etymological support for their view, even if the way one plays the game is more important than winning a prize. The word athlete may ultimately go back to the Greek word athlos,"contest, especially a contest for a prize." Two other possible sources are athlon,"prize won in a contest," and athleus,"one who competes." The Greek word athlētēs, derived from at least one of these sources, meant "combatant, champion," and was used especially for competitors in games. Our word athlete, borrowed from Greek by way of Latin, is first recorded in Middle English (possibly before 1425) with reference to wrestlers.
