    why are they called sports cars anyway

    is it somehow athletic to drive one? why are motor sports sports?

      @shpuld sport in this case meaning to another definition, fun or pleasure. This definition of sport doesn't seem much as used in English nowadays.

        @awl mm makes sense

        the word we have for sports doesn't really have the same definition I guess

          @shpuld a commonality in English to take more than one unrelateable meaning within one word. Usually in this case one would use the singular 'sport' to mean fun. So it's a little strange to use the plural in 'sports car', now that I notice it.
