Definition
The sport or practice of mountain climbing, especially in the Alps or other high mountain ranges.
Etymology
From French 'alpinisme,' derived from 'Alpes' (the Alps) plus the suffix '-ism' meaning a practice or system. The term emerged in the 19th century when mountain climbing became an organized sport rather than just a practical necessity.
Kelly Says
Alpinism as a sport is actually quite new—before the 1800s, people avoided mountains! The shift happened when wealthy Europeans started climbing for adventure and glory instead of fear, creating an entirely new sport from what they'd always seen as dangerous obstacles.
