Which country does the word anorak come from?

The word "anorak" comes from Inuit languages, specifically from the Inuktitut word "anajuq", which refers to a hooded, fur-lined garment worn by Inuit people.

The word was adopted into English in the early 20th century to refer to a similar type of garment, and later evolved to mean a waterproof jacket, especially one worn for outdoor activities.
