The letter "k" in "kangaroo" comes from its etymological roots. The word is derived from the Guugu Yimithirr language of Australia, where the word "gangurru" refers to a specific type of kangaroo. The use of "k" is also consistent with the phonetic spelling of many words in English that are borrowed from other languages. Thus, the presence of "k" reflects both its origin and phonetic representation.
