Word origin

The term 'sportspeople' is a modern compound word formed by combining 'sports' and 'people'. It emerged in the late 20th century as a gender-neutral alternative to terms like 'sportsman' or 'athlete'. As awareness and acceptance of gender diversity in sports increased, the use of 'sportspeople' became more common to encompass individuals of all genders participating in sports.
