Etymology
The French noun **hockey** is a direct borrowing from the English sport name. The English word dates from the early 18th century and is thought to derive from a Dutch or regional English term for a stick‑and‑puck game, though its precise origin is uncertain. It contains no Latin or Greek roots and entered French simply as the name of the modern sport.
