Etymology
Sino-Vietnamese word from 體育, composed of 體 (“body”) and 育 (“education”), from Japanese 体育 (taiiku), clipped from 身体(之)教育 (shintai(-no) kyōiku, thân thể (chi) giáo dục), calqued from English physical education by the Japanese writer Kondō Yasuzō. An earlier alternative clipping was 身教 (shinkyō, thân giáo). Compare Japanese 知育 (chiiku, tri dục, “intellectual education”) and 徳育 (tokuiku, đức dục, “moral education”).
