Etymology: "Walkovers" is the plural of "walkover", which is formed from the phrasal verb "walk over", meaning to walk across something or to go over a surface without effort. The noun comes from the sense of a contest that one competitor simply strolls across to win, since the opponent never appears or cannot compete. Its literal picture of an uncontested stroll becomes a figure for an easy victory, and the plural simply counts such matches.
