The word 'kayak' comes from the word 'inuktitut' in the Aleut/ Inuit group of languages. It's original meaning was 'man's boat' .

( I live in Canada and we often hear words in that language or encounter them in crosswords.)

The word "kayak" is from the Inuit language, specifically the Yup'ik word "qayaq." It has been adopted by other languages due to its widespread use and popularity in various parts of the world for watercraft.
