Origen e historia

From Old English 'gamen' meaning 'joy, fun, amusement', from Proto-Germanic 'gamanan'. Originally broader than its modern sense — any form of amusement or sport. The hunting sense ('game animals') developed because hunting was considered sport. Cognate with Danish 'gammen' (fun).
