Origin of the word handball

The term "handball" directly translates to "ball played with the hand." It's a descriptive name that predates the codified sport we know today. While the exact origin is unclear, variations of handball have existed for centuries across cultures. The term likely arose in the 19th century as different forms of "hand-ball" evolved in Europe. The modern sport, known as "team handball" in many countries, solidified its name in the early 20th century, separating itself from other, less structured forms of the game.
