The word "carom" is derived from the Latin word "carrus," which refers to a cart or chariot. In the 16th century, the term was used to describe a specific shot in billiards in which the cue ball bounced off the cushions and hit multiple object balls. Over time, the word came to be used for any shot that involved striking multiple balls in a row.
