Etymology
The term 'badminton' originates from Badminton House, the Duke of Beaufort's estate in Gloucestershire, England, where the game was first played in the mid-19th century. The game itself derives from an older game called 'battledore and shuttlecock,' which dates back to ancient times in Asia. The formalization of badminton began in 1873 when British Army officers stationed in India observed local children's games with shuttlecocks. They adapted these games and introduced their versions back to England. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed, further developing the game's rules and regulations. The Badminton Association of England was established in 1893, and it published the first official rules of the game, establishing badminton as we know it today. The sport has grown immensely in popularity and is now played worldwide, with millions of players participating at various levels.
