Definition of undefined

The term "goal line" originated in the sport of soccer, specifically in the 19th century. It refers to the line that marks the boundary of the goal area, which is the rectangular space in front of the goal posts. The word "goal" itself comes from the Old French "gole," meaning "mouth." The combination of "goal" and "line" therefore describes the line marking the opening of the goal itself, representing the objective of the game. The term has since been adopted by other sports, like American football, where it refers to the line at the back of the end zone.
