組成Borrowed straight from Korean 태권도 / 跆拳道. The three Korean syllables each carry a meaning that the Chinese characters show clearly: 跆 tae, to strike or trample with the foot; 拳 kwon, the fist; 道 do, the way or path. So the name means something like 'the way of the foot and the fist' — the order of the pieces tells you why the kicks come first.
