What Wikipedia says

In J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings, an oliphaunt (known in Gondor as a mûmak, plural: mûmakil) is a giant elephant-like beast. They are encountered only as war elephants used by the army of the Haradrim. Tolkien borrowed the word from Middle English to give a rustic feeling to Sam Gamgee's speech.
