Where did the term derby originate?
The sport of equestrian, or horseback riding, has roots in ancient civilizations such as Greece, Persia, and Rome. It was further developed in medieval Europe as a skill essential for warfare and transportation. The modern equestrian sport as we know it today has evolved from these historical origins.
To the best of my knowledge, the actual origin of the word horse is unknown. I do know that the term horse appeared actually as "hors". It appeared as that before the 12th century in old English. In 1100 the term horse became a part of the English that is spoken today.
The term"equestrian" is used for anyone who rides.
The term Pogrom did not originate during the Holocaust.
it is a fancy term for someone who will molest dead horses.
The proper term for the skill would be 'horsemanship'. When refering to a person that rides you would call him an equestrian or equestrian sports.
