Nunca he hecho paracaidismo.
The word paracaidismo in Spanish, meaning “skydiving” or “parachuting,” is derived from the combination of the following elements:
1. Para: This comes from the French word parachute, where “para-” means “to protect” or “against” (from the Greek “para,” meaning “against” or “beside”). 2. Caída: This is the Spanish word for “fall,” referring to the act of descending or dropping. 3. -ismo: A suffix used to form nouns indicating a practice or an activity, similar to the English “-ism.”
So, paracaidismo literally refers to the practice of “protecting against a fall,” which is fitting for the sport of skydiving.
