Etymology

The word 'javelin' originates from the Old French term 'javeline', which itself derives from the Latin word 'jaculum', meaning 'a throwing instrument'. This word has roots in the verb 'jacere', which means 'to throw'. The practice of throwing a javelin as a sport has ancient origins, with roots in both Greek and Roman athletic contests. In modern athletics, javelin has been included in the Olympic Games since their inception in 1896 for men and 1932 for women. Over time, javelining has evolved with advancements in design and material of the javelin itself, and it has developed into a widely practiced competitive sport.
