Definition
Croquet is an outdoor game where players hit wooden balls through small metal hoops using long-handled mallets. It is usually played on grass in a calm, social setting.
Etymology
From French *croquet*, probably from *croche* “hook,” related to the curved shape of early mallets or sticks. The modern game developed in 19th-century Europe as a garden sport.
Kelly Says
Croquet looks gentle, but in its early days people played fiercely and used tricky shots to knock opponents’ balls far away. It’s like a slow-motion battle on grass, disguised as a polite picnic game.
