From Greek 'a-' (without) and 'kepirion' (armor or protection). Used in classical descriptions of combat sports and martial displays in ancient Greece and Rome.
Ancient Greek fighting terminology distinguished between armed and unarmed combat with precision—akepiro fighters were the ultimate test of raw skill and strength, no armor to hide weakness.
