The word "slimnastics" is a portmanteau combining the words "slim" and "gymnastics".
The term "slim" originated from the Middle Dutch word "slim", meaning "bad" or "crooked". It later evolved in English to refer to something slender or thin.
The word "gymnastics" has its roots in the Greek term "gymnastikos", related to "gymnazein", meaning "to exercise naked" or "to train in gymnastic exercises". It originally referred to the physical exercises and training performed by ancient Greeks in gymnasiums.
When the two words are merged together, "slimnastics" is created as a blend to describe a form of exercise or physical activity aimed at promoting slimness or weight loss.
