"Cross-country" is a compound word, meaning "across the country." Its origin lies in the literal sense of traveling across a geographical region, likely stemming from the practice of navigating vast landscapes, particularly in the context of exploration and early settlements. The term later evolved to describe athletic events, particularly running, that involve traversing significant distances across varied terrain. This association further reinforced the notion of "crossing" a geographical area, solidifying the term's meaning.
