An Australian English borrowing from an Aboriginal language referring to a medicine man or healer within Indigenous Australian communities. The koradji held a respected spiritual and medicinal role, acting as an intermediary between the physical and spiritual worlds. The term appears in historical and anthropological literature about Aboriginal culture, and while it's not everyday slang, it surfaces in discussions of Australian Indigenous heritage and history.
The early settler accounts described approaching the koradji of the local clan to seek guidance before venturing further inland.
