Origin of the word baseball

The word "baseball" is a combination of "base" and "ball," reflecting the game's core elements. "Base" comes from the Old French "bas," meaning "low," referring to the bases players run between. "Ball" has been around for centuries, coming from the Old English "balla," which likely originated from a Germanic root. While the game itself has evolved, the core elements of "base" and "ball" have remained constant in the name, capturing the essence of the sport.
