https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_(word) suggests neither definition has definitive support, giving a counter-example: > Conversely, in 1363, King Edward III of England issued a proclamation banning "...handball, football, or hockey; coursing and cock-fighting, or other such idle games",[7] suggesting that "football" may have been differentiated from games that involved other parts of the body. |
