Etymology
The word Wiffle is a brand name for a light, hollow plastic ball with holes that people use for safe, backyard play. A helpful way to remember it is to think of the word whiff, meaning a 'light puff of air', because the ball moves and curves easily in the air, which is why it is gentle and safe to use.
