Etymology

The first recorded use of the word "hockey" is found in the text of a royal proclamation issued by Edward III of England in 1363 banning certain types of sports and games.

[m]oreover we ordain that you prohibit under penalty of imprisonment all and sundry from such stone, wood and iron throwing; handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games.

The word hockey itself is of unknown origin, although it is likely a derivative of hoquet, a Middle French word for a shepherd's stave. The curved, or "hooked" ends of the sticks used for hockey would indeed have resembled these staves.

shepherd's stave - عصا گڈریا۔

یوں پاکستان میں میدان عصا گڈریا ہو سکتا ہے۔ --طاھر محمود (تبادلۂ خیال) 11:20, 11 نومبر 2013 (م ع و)
