KANGAROO, etymology
'KANGAROO (n.) 1770, used by Capt. Cook and botanist Joseph Banks, supposedly an aboriginal word from northeast Queensland, Australia, often SAID TO BE UNKNOWN NOW IN ANY NATIVE LANGUAGE'
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=kangaroo
A kangaroo is a marsupial animal, characterized by very strong hinder legs, wielding them like a crowbar, and a "stiff" tail - like a lever:
And the family of marsupials, to which kangaroo belongs, is called: macropodidae, from Greek μάκρος + πους, i.e. the "large foot, long leg", as most macropodidae 'have very long, narrow hind feet with a distinctive arrangement of toes; the fourth toe is very large and strong'.
This is a hint inviting to look into the following semantic field (with words meaning 'leg, foot'), in order to find out the etymology of name kangaroo itself (given the fact that all languages worldwide contain the same basic lexis):
[ingka] (Arrernte language, Central Australia) - leg, foot;
[kingmik] (Inuit) - heel; [kanaaq] (Inuit) - lower part of leg: source - http://paabo.ca/uirala/contents.html ;
hanka (Burushaski, the language of the ethnic isolate group of Burishians living in the mountainous regions of Hunza and Nagar in the north of Kashmir) - leg, foot;
shank (Eng.) - a shin, a rod, leg, stalk (SIC per British etymologists, shin is allegedly from a hypothetic "proto-I.E." verb *skei- 'to cut, to split');
cẳng (Viet.) - forearm, foot; chân (Viet.) - leg, foot;
ขา [K̄hā] (Thai) - leg, foot, limb;
แขน [K̄hæn] (Thai) - arm, limb; ข้าง [K̄ĥāng] (Thai) - hand;

Compare also to: kangaude (Chewa, South of Africa) - spider, cobweb.

Comp. գանգը [qanqe] (Armenian) - a skull, a cranium.
(thus, any bone, ossified limb can exist with this stem - both a leg, a foot - and a skull);
Comp. cancro (Ital.), cancer (Lat., Eng.) - both an arthropod with carapace, and a tumor - which, according to mainstream etymologists, is allegedly from καρκίνος [karkinos] (Gr.), with the same meaning, without explanation of the phonetic transition, and with a further reference to a hypothetic 'PIE' *kar ('hard'): https://www.etymonline.com/word/cancer ;
Comp. cancrena (It.), gangrene (Eng.), gangraena (Lat.) - a tumor - allegedly from Greek with a literal meaning of 'that which eats away' - https://www.etymonline.com/word/gangrene ;
Comp. concrete (Eng.), concretus (Lat.) - condensed, hard, frozen, clotted - per mainstream etymologists, allegedly from Latin 'con + concrescere' ('grow together'): https://www.etymonline.com/word/concrete .
Obviously these are three variations of same word, but with three completely different 'Indo-European' etymologies established, and, of course, 'unrelated' to any non-'I.E.' tongues.
