The word "catamaran" is derived from the [[Tamil language|Tamil]] word, ''[[kattumaram]]'' (கட்டுமரம்), which means "logs bound together" and is a type of single-hulled raft made of three to seven tree trunks lashed together. The term has evolved in English usage to refer to unrelated twin-hulled vessels.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.etymonline.com/word/catamaran|title=Origin and meaning of catamaran|website=Online Etymology Dictionary|language= en|access-date= 2019-03-01}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Lück |first= Michael |date= 2008 |title= The Encyclopedia of Tourism and Recreation in Marine Environments |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=Yuc2Aro6ukkC&q=tamil+catamaran+5th+century&pg=PA86 |location=Wallingford, UK |publisher=CABI |page=86 |isbn= 978-1-84593-350-0}}</ref><ref name="dictionary">{{cite encyclopedia |title=Catamaran |encyclopedia= Dictionary.com Unabridged |url= http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/catamaran |year= 2016 |publisher= Random House, inc.}}</ref>
