A rooster; also used as a nonsense or playful word, possibly referring to an absurd or boastful person.
A fanciful elaboration on 'cock' combined with '-a-maroo,' influenced by Australian and English comic terminology. The suffix resembles playful rhyming variations popular in 19th-century slang.
This is pure nonsense-wordplay—combining 'cock' with a made-up '-maroo' ending that sounds Australian or comic. It's exactly the kind of word that emerges in playgrounds and makes adults groan; many such words vanish, but 'cockamaroo' got written down and preserved!
