Origin

Late 18th century: from steeple (because originally a steeple marked the finishing point across country) + chase¹.

A steeplechase was originally a horse race across country over hedges, walls, and ditches. The term dates from the late 18th century and comes from the idea of using a distant church steeple to mark the finishing point of the race, which you have to reach by clearing any intervening obstacles. Steeple comes from the same root as the adjective steep (both Old English).
