The term ''silat'' is of unknown origin, with theories ranging from the Malay ''sekilat'' ("lightning-quick"), the Sanskrit ''sila'' ("principle"), the Chinese ''sila'' ("hand push", like the "pushing hands" concept of kung fu) or the Arabian ''silah'' ("weapon" or "connection"). As a fighting style, it is likely related to the krabi krabong and the UsefulNotes/{{Eskrima}} practiced in UsefulNotes/{{Thailand}} and the UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}}, which also employ weapons and complicated hits, and in fact, certain southern regions of both countries have their own silat styles as well.

'''Silat''' is a an umbrella term for the indigenous martial arts of Southeast Asia, roughly like kung fu is for their Chinese equivalents. There are hundreds of silat styles through countries like UsefulNotes/{{Indonesia}}, UsefulNotes/{{Malaysia}}, UsefulNotes/{{Singapore}}, UsefulNotes/{{Brunei}} and many others, each with its own characteristics, although most of them have in common an emphasis in varied strikes, complex forms and stances, standing joint locks used in conjunction, and usage of weapons. The main two variations of the art are those practiced in Indonesia and Malaysia, called respectively '''pencak silat''' and '''silat melayu''', the former of which is the most usual and is included in the Asian Games.

The art employs a variety of weapons, like the ''kris'' (wavy-bladed dagger), ''parang'' or ''golok'' (machetes), ''celurit'' (sickle), ''karambit'' (a small curved blade), ''tongkat'' (staff), and many others. It doesn't have a proper uniform, although many modern schools have adopted trousers and traditional Malayan tunics complete with sashes, headscarves or colored belts like the ranks innovated in UsefulNotes/{{Judo}}. Nowadays, the Indonesian name ''pencak silat'' is commonly used for sport silat competitions, regardless of their origin, and practitioners are called ''pesilat''.
