Etymology of FIELD HOCKEYS

The word "field hockey" originated from the combination of two words: "field" and "hockey".

The term "field" refers to the playing surface on which the sport is played. In the case of field hockey, it is usually an outdoor grass or artificial turf field.

The word "hockey" has a more complex etymology. It can be traced back to the Middle French word "hocquet", which refers to a shepherd's crook or a similar stick used as a tool.
