The word "soccer" comes from the original name of the game "Association Football" or more precisely from its abbreviation Assoc. Assoc. was a slang term used in UK universities from about 1889. It later became socca, socker (1891) and finally evolved into soccer (1895).

Further: The necessity of calling the game other than "Football" was due to the conflict with "Rugby Football" also known as "Football". (slightlypointyball)
