Etymology: Spanish, from Basque, from jai festival + alai merry
: a game of Basque origin resembling handball and played (as in Spain and Latin America) on a large walled court by usually two or four players who use a long curved wicker basket strapped to the right wrist to catch and hurl the ball against the front wall to make it rebound in such a way that the opponent cannot return it before it has bounced more than once — see cesta, fronton, pelota |
