Taekwando
This curiosity is dedicated to the curious Alhojin (still waiting for your lessons of Kung-fu ot it was ty-kwahn-do, Mr. al-ho-jin??? )
________________________________________-
Word: Taekwando (tae kwan do) (Noun)
Pronunciation: [tay-kwahn-'do]
Definition 1: A Korean martial arts technique based on an admixture of virtue and
unarmed combat.
Usage 1: Martial arts in Korea dates back 2000 years. Tae kwan do developed from
su-bak, which emerged around 800 years ago. This year it will be an Olympic sport
for the first time.
Suggested Usage: Knowing the word means "a way to trample (someone/thing) with your
fists" (see etymology) limits this term's usage among civil mortals like ourselves.
However, one might say, "Talking to her is mental taekwando," of someone who insists
on complex arguments that are at time mentally punishing.
Etymology: Entered English in 1967 from Korean t'aekwondo, from t'ae- "trample" +
kwon "fist" + to "way".
