Yo-yo means come back in what language?

"Yo-yo" is actually an onomatopoeia, meaning it's a word that imitates the sound it makes. It's not directly derived from a specific language.

However, the word likely originates from the Filipino word "yoyo" which means "come back." This is because the yo-yo was invented in the Philippines and was originally called "yoyo" there.

So, while "yo-yo" itself isn't directly from a specific language, its origin can be traced back to the Filipino word "yoyo" which does mean "come back."
