词源：
calisthenics (n.)also callisthenics, kind of light gymnastics, 1842, (the adjective calisthenic/callisthenic, of exercises, was in use by 1837), formed on model of French callisthenie, from Latinized combining form of Greek kallos “beauty” (see Callisto) + sthenos “strength, power, ability, might” (perhaps from PIE root *segh- “to have, hold,” on the notion of “steadfastness, toughness”) + -ics.
“Of this at least I am certain, that none but a born romp and hoyden, or a girl accustomed [to] those new-fangled pulleyhauley exercises, the Calisthenics, is fitted for the boisterous evolutions of a sea-voyage.” [Thomas Hood, “The Schoolmistress Abroad,” New Monthly Magazine, 1842]
Originally, gymnastic exercises suitable for girls and meant to develop the figure and promote graceful movement. OED describes the word as “chiefly a term of young ladies’ boarding-schools.” A place for doing it was a calisthenium (1853). The proper Greek, had the Greeks attempted such a word, would have been *kallistheneia.Related entries & more

calisthenics (n.) 也称健美操，一种轻型体操，1842 年（练习的形容词 calisthenic/callisthenic，于 1837 年开始使用），以法语 callisthenie 为蓝本，源自希腊语 kallos“美丽”的拉丁化组合形式（参见 Callisto）+ sthenos“力量、力量、能力、可能”（可能来自 PIE 词根 *segh-“拥有、持有”，关于“坚定、坚韧”的概念）+ -ics。 “至少我确信，除了天生的嬉闹和霍伊登，或者习惯了那些新奇的滑轮练习、健美操的女孩，没有人适合海上航行的喧闹演变。” [托马斯·胡德，《国外女校长》，新月刊，1842] 最初，体操运动适合女孩，旨在塑造身材并促进优美的动作。 《牛津英语词典》将这个词描述为“主要是指年轻女子寄宿学校的术语”。这样做的地方是 calisthenium (1853)。如果希腊人尝试使用这样一个词，正确的希腊语应该是 *kallistheneia。相关条目及更多
