Word origin
The word 'courses' originated from the Old French word 'cours', which means 'a running'. The term evolved over time to refer to a series of academic lectures or lessons on a particular subject. In sports, 'courses' expanded to include a full round of play in a golf tournament. The verb form developed from the concept of 'flowing' or 'moving along a path'.
