An older borrowing, ultimately from Ancient Greek [[wiki:ἀθλητής|ἀθλητής]] (''athlētḗs''). Due to its longer history in the language, speakers eventually started using the word as if one of native Coptic origin, by preserving its long vowel and utilizing a feminine form more akin to native adjectives.
