kite

Tethered sky diamond

A kite is a framework covered in paper or plastic that is suspended in windy air as a recreational activity.

Before that meaning developed, kite was (and still is) the name for various small hawks with forked tails.

Some sports that use a sail have kite in their names (kite surfing, kite boarding).

If you kite a check, you write it for an amount that exceeds your balance in the hope that you will be able to supply the shortfall before the check is cashed.
