kickboxer

/kˈɪkbɑksɚ/ noun

One who practices the martial art of kickboxing.

Word Origin Kickboxer is a modern compound, but its parts are old. 'Kick' comes from Middle English 'kiken,' of uncertain origin but likely imitative of a sharp strike. 'Box' as in fighting comes from Proto-Germanic 'būkōną,' meaning to strike or hit. So a kickboxer combines kicking and boxing. The agent suffix -er turns it into the person who does it. Related: kickboxing, boxer, kicker.
