sportsperson

/spɔɹtspɝsən/ noun

Someone who plays sport, regardless of gender.

Word Origin Sport comes from Latin disportare 'to carry away' — originally meaning to amuse oneself, to divert. So a sportsperson is someone who engages in sport. The second part, person, comes from Latin persona 'mask, character,' from the masks actors wore. The root portare also gives us transport (carry across), export (carry out), and portfolio (carry leaves/papers).
