I might be just lacking education, but...

Nope, I don't think so. My wife and I both struggled with this obscure term - has a relatively low frequency in modern written English, with an estimated occurrence of about 0.09 times per million words..

. . . So I was the rare creature that knew this word well enough to put it in a sentence!

CAROM

Okay, so when I was a kid, we had a game called "Crossbows and Catapults." As the name suggests, it was a game you played using toy crossbows and catapults to destroy your opponent's castle. The projectiles you flung at your opponent were "Battle Caroms." So I grew up knowing that a disc-shaped projectile was a "Carom." This was reinforced when I encountered the classic old Christian Youth Camp board game, the "Carom board."

From this it can also be used as a verb - something that ricochets off something else with the effect of a carom is described as "caroming."

For reasons presumably to do with the fluidity of spelling in the past, the game itself is called Carrom.

Carrom is also a kind of ball (bowled) in cricket.

Just for fullness.

I do know this word, in terms of a ricochet, but haven't used it in a long long time.
