Root Explanation

The word 'skibob' originates from a combination of 'ski' (from the Norwegian 'ski', meaning a long, narrow piece of wood or other material used for gliding over snow) and 'bob' (from the English 'bob', meaning to move up and down or to bounce). The term 'skibob' refers to a type of snow sport that combines skiing and a small sled-like vehicle, allowing for a unique gliding experience on snow.

Memory Tip

Imagine gliding over snow on a 'ski' while bouncing up and down like a 'bob' — that's how you can remember that 'skibob' is a fun snow sport combining both elements.
