The term 'discing' is derived from the word 'disc', which refers to a flat, circular object. The history of discs dates back to the 19th century, with flying discs evolving from toys like the Frisbee. As disc golf grew in popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, the term 'discing' became associated with the sport itself. Disc golf is now played worldwide with various professional organizations.
