In the beginning there was 2 groups, 'maestra' wich mostly trained acro in the gym, and 'yamakasi' wich did more of the outside stuff. then when David Belle and Sebastian Foucan split form the others, those kept 'yamakasi' and herbert kuonde, a friend of David but not a practisioner of parkour, came up with the name 'parkour' coming from 'parcours du combattant'.They werent soldiers so the 'combattant' was left out, the 'c' wasnt aggressive enough to show the hard training, and the efficiency said dont write an S that you dont speak. PARKOUR was born. Tracer means 'one that follows his way' or 'one that goes his way', traceur is just a misunderstanding coz some french guy thought 'in french grammar it must be traceUr' but it actually wasnt (see their old videos, they say 'les tracers presente..' )
Big thx to Andreas Kalteis and Jerome Lebret !
