According to a Google search for the Greek roots of the word "gymnasium:"
The Greek word gymnasion (γυμνάσιον) translates to "public place for physical exercises" or "exercise area". It is derived from the Greek adjective gymnos (γυμνός), which means "naked" or "nude", and the related verb gymnazo (γυμνάζω), which means "to train naked", "train in gymnastic exercise", or "to train, to exercise". The word gymnasium literally translates to "school for naked exercise".
