The word "training" derives from the verb "train," which originated from Old French trainer (to drag, pull, or draw) and Latin traginare (to pull). By the 14th century, "train" evolved to mean "to discipline or instruct," reflecting the idea of guiding or shaping someone's development. The suffix "-ing" transforms the verb into a noun, emphasizing the ongoing process of instruction or preparation. This progression captures the dual sense of physical and mental conditioning in modern usage.
