waterskiing

/wˈɔɾɚskˌɪɪŋ/ noun

Alternative spelling of water skiing.

Word Origin Ski comes from Old Norse skíð, meaning a stick of wood or snowshoe — the original skis were just wooden planks. Combine that with water, and you get the sport of gliding on water with wooden planks (now fiberglass). The -ing makes it the activity. Skiing on snow came first, then waterskiing adapted the idea. The same skíð root gives us ski, skier, and even jet ski.
