When a movement is acrobatic, someone is using their body in a very way: jumping, twisting, turning in the air, or balancing as if they might fall but do not. Circus performers, gymnasts, and dancers get this word a lot, and sports writers stretch it to anyone who moves with that kind of surprise skill — a footballer who twists to kick, a cat that lands on its feet. It is an adjective, so it describes the move or the person doing it, not the show itself (that noun is acrobatics). Ordinary in sports and performance talk; not a stiff classroom word.
雜技的、特技的
組成acrobat + -ic. Acrobat comes from Ancient Greek akrobatēs: ákros “highest / at the tip” + -batēs “one who walks” — originally someone who walks high up, or on tiptoe. English took acrobat from French.
