Castling

/ˈkæsəlɪŋ/ noun, verb

Definition

In chess, a special move where the king and rook change positions; also, the act of building castles or providing with castle-like fortifications.

Etymology

From castle as a verb (to build or move like a castle). The chess meaning emerged in the 15th century as the game evolved in Europe. The fortification meaning is older, from castle (noun).

Kelly Says

Chess historians still debate castling's origins—it might come from Persian chess variants or European innovations—but by the 1500s it was standardized as a move to help the king escape danger quickly!
