The term "playbook" just originates from sports as a documentation of what you are going to do for for a specific task (i.e. a "play" in sports).

  I'm pretty sure the sports meaning comes from the theathre meaning. Ansible has other bits of theatre metaphor in it, such as "roles" and "scripts".

    What is the theatre meaning? I'm not familiar with that term.

      It's just a book that contains one or more scripts, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleury_Playbook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleury_Playbook
