'Esport' (esports) is a loanword from English. It is made up of 'E' for 'elektronisch' (electronic) and the word 'Sport' (sport). So it describes sport that is practiced with electronic devices.

'der Sport' and 'der Esport' both have to do with competition, training, and fixed rules. 'Sport' normally means physical activities such as soccer, swimming, or running, and also the school subject PE. 'Esport' means competitions involving computer games. The words can be confused because 'Esport' contains the word 'Sport' and is also understood as a competition. When the body is the main focus, people usually say 'Sport'. When people compete against each other in computer games, 'Esport' is more precise.
