A long wooden pole, typically made from a tree trunk, that is tossed as a test of strength in Scottish Highland games.
From Scottish Gaelic 'cabar' meaning 'pole' or 'beam.' The word entered English through Scottish traditions and has been used since at least the 17th century to describe the sport's iconic implement.
The caber toss looks random, but it's actually about physics—throwers don't want distance, they want the pole to rotate and land pointing away from them, which requires precise timing and understanding of angular momentum.
