* The term parkour IPA: [/paʁ.'kuʁ/] was defined by Hubert Koundé, — an actor and friend of David Belle, but not a practitioner — and it derives from parcours du combattant, the obstacle courses proposed by Georges Hébert method and a classic of French military training. Kuonde took the word parcours, replaced the "c" with a "k" to suggest aggressiveness, and removed the silent "s" as it opposed parkour's philosophy about efficiency.[verification needed]
* Traceur [tʁa.'sœʁ] is the substantive derived from the verb "tracer". Tracer normally means "to trace", or "to draw", but also translates as "going fast".
