Where this word comes from

Borrowed from German Klassiker. Equivalent to klassiek (“classical”) + -er. The sports sense was originally Belgian Dutch and derives from French classique. The football subsense gradually arose starting in the 1950s, when it was applied to many other football matches, and is based on the fact that Amsterdam and Rotterdam and their football clubs Ajax and Feyenoord are, respectively, two of the most prominent cities and clubs in the country with a traditional rivalry going back many decades. A Feyenoord-Ajax match therefore became considered to be the classic football matchup in the Netherlands.
