I can't shake the feeling that the word they were going for had more to do with ascension than asceticism, but somewhere down the line something a flub went through the filters

I know I'm quoting wikipedia and all, but I feel like "ascetic" was the exact word they were wanting.

quote:

The adjective "ascetic" derives from the ancient Greek term askēsis, which means training or exercise. The original usage did not refer to self-denial, but to the physical training required for athletic events.
