Etymology

The word 'gymkhana' originates from the Hindi word 'jymkhฤna', which means a place for athletic exercises. The term was brought to English from India during the British colonial period. It originally described a venue or facility for various sports activities, but over time evolved to represent specific forms of competition involving agility and speed. Gymkhana has been embraced in different contexts, especially in motor sports and equestrian activities, where the focus is on skillful navigation through predetermined courses.
