The answer
KAYAK
What kayak means
A narrow, pointed boat propelled by a paddler using a double-bladed oar, designed to carry one or more people and commonly used for recreation or transportation on water.
Where the word comes from
From Greenlandic Inuit *qajaq*, the small sealed hunting boat used by Arctic peoples. The word entered European languages through contact with Inuit peoples in the North Atlantic, first appearing in English in the 17th century. The double-bladed paddle design and the boat's distinctive shape were so distinctive that the native term stuck rather than being translated.
