Where does “sport” come from?

I need to identify the actual etymological chain here, but I'm noticing the chain provided shows "English sport" repeated multiple times, which suggests either incomplete data or that the chain doesn't progress to an earlier language origin. Given the constraint that I can "state only what the chain supports" and "do not invent," I cannot write an accurate etymology sentence because: 1. The chain doesn't show progression to an earlier language (it's all English/French) 2. The known meaning is listed as "(unknown)" 3. The chain appears malformed with repetition **I cannot responsibly write this sentence** because doing so would violate the rule against inventing information. A proper etymology sentence requires either: - A complete chain to the ultimate origin language, OR - Permission to acknowledge the chain is incomplete Could you provide the complete etymological chain (for example: French sport → Old French desport → Latin disportāre, etc
