Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Greenlandic Inuit. Partly a borrowing from Eastern Canadian Inuit. Etymons: Greenlandic Inuit qajaq, Eastern Canadian Inuit qajaq.

Etymology: < Greenlandic Inuit qajaq and its cognate Eastern Canadian Inuit qayaq . (In later use in other regions perhaps sometimes reborrowed from cognates in related languages.) Compare Danish kajak (a1719 as kajakke , or earlier) and (perhaps via Danish) German Kajak (1765 in the passage translated in quot. 1767). Compare umiak n.Compare the following earlier passage, probably reflecting a suffixed form of the Greenlandic Inuit word in an English context (in a short glossary); also cited in the underlying German text of 1656 (with reference to observations apparently made in 1636):1662 J. Davies tr. A. Olearius Voy. & Trav. Ambassadors 71 The Greenlanders speak fast, and from the throat..Kajakka, a little Boat.

1. A small, narrow boat used (chiefly for hunting) by indigenous peoples inhabiting Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and the Russian Far East, made of sealskins stretched over a framework of light wood, with a deck completely covered except for a cockpit accommodating the paddler, who propels the boat with a (usually) double-bladed paddle.

2. More generally: a kind of small, narrow boat propelled with a paddle, used for recreational activity or sport, esp. one propelled with a double-bladed paddle, usually having a deck completely covered except for one or (occasionally) two or more small cockpits; a canoe. Kayaks are now generally made from synthetic materials. In contemporary sporting classification the kayak is regarded as distinct from the canoe: the kayaker sits in the boat and uses a double-bladed paddle on alternate sides to move the boat forwards, whereas the canoeist kneels and uses a single-bladed paddle.
