What carom means

A shot in billiards or pool in which the cue ball hits one object ball and then bounces off to hit another, or to strike and rebound off a surface.

Where the word comes from

From French *carambole*, the ball used in the game of billiards, which came from Spanish *carambola*, possibly derived from a word in an Indian language for the carambola fruit. The game itself involved the collision or ricocheting of balls, and "carom" came to mean any collision or deflection resulting from impact.
