The word athlete is an ancient Greek word that means "one who competes for a prize" and was related to two other Greek words, athlos meaning "contest" and athlon meaning "prize."

They were never amateurs, indeed they were paid in bags of gold, were therefore relatively wealthy and venerated by the rest of society
