Etymology

The word 'sporty' comes from the word 'sport', which originated from the Old French term 'desporter', meaning 'to carry away' or 'to amuse' in the late 14th century. The incorporation of 'sport' into English was used to describe physical games and activities that engage a person either recreationally or competitively. The superlative form 'sportiest' emerged as the language evolved, showcasing something having the highest degree of sporty qualities. Language and cultural shifts in the 20th century popularized the usage of this adjective, especially as sports became a more prominent aspect of global culture and fashion. It reflects not just physical athleticism, but also a lifestyle associated with sports and active living.
