Best Answer

The current use of the word "dressage" is, in England, of comparatively recent date. The word has been taken over verbally from the French, as a term connected with horsemanship. The fact that there just is no exact equivalent whereby to translate "dressage" into English probably goes a long way to explain the misunderstanding, and sometimes event the touch of mystery, whereto the use of this word has given rise.

I believe the word dressage is the french word for training. I could be wrong.
