response: The word ski comes from Old Norse which means a split piece of firewood or wood
history: Have you ever been skiing? No but it is used as a way for people to move about, for competition and as a recreational activity. I personally dislike it but I'm curious about it, how long has it been around? You may be interested to know then that its been around for around 5000 years. Wow. That's crazy. I didn't know that!
knowledge: It comes from the Old Norse word ''skíð'' which means ''split piece of wood or firewood''.
