Handicapped is an older word meaning having a physical or mental disability. Many people now prefer the word 'disabled' or the phrase 'a person with a disability,' since 'handicapped' can sound a little outdated or less respectful, though it's still seen on some signs (like 'handicapped parking'). In sports and games, 'handicapped' is still used in its original, neutral sense — a handicapped player or horse is given a disadvantage on purpose, to make a competition fairer between players of different skill levels.
（較舊，現較少用於身心障礙者，可能顯得不夠尊重）身心障礙的；（運動）讓分/加重量以求公平的
組成Comes from an old phrase 'hand in cap,' from a game where forfeit items were placed in a cap — the word later moved into horse racing, where a 'handicap' evens out a race between different horses.
