English
Etymology
From body + building.
Pronunciation
Noun
bodybuilding (uncountable)
- A sport in which the aesthetics of muscular development is the basis for competition.
1974, Charles Gaines, George Butler, Pumping Iron: The Art and Sport of Bodybuilding, page 7:Like those activities, bodybuilding is an obsession, a living (for a few), and a way of life for the people involved in it—a subculture, in a word, with its own values, aesthetics and vocabulary.
- (dated) Work done to construct or repair the body of an automobile.
- 2006 — Larry Scott (interview), Iron Man 65(5): 258
- "In my day, if you filled out your shirt, people assumed you played football or wrestled. The term bodybuilding had more to do with cars than lifting weights."
