A boomerang or a curved throwing stick used by Aboriginal Australians in hunting and warfare.
From Dyirbal language of Aboriginal Australia. The term entered English through colonial contact with Indigenous Australian peoples.
Boomerangs are misunderstood weapons—most wouldn't actually return, but Australians perfected the returning kind, and 'kiley' shows how English borrowed directly from the people who invented them!
