Etymology

The word 'hoarse' originates from the Old English term 'hrs,' which means 'to roar or make a sound.' This term evolved through Middle English, where it was used to describe a roughness of voice. The suffix '-est' is a superlative form used to indicate the highest degree of a quality, in this case, the quality of being hoarse. Historically, hoarseness has been associated with both physical and emotional conditions, often linked to stress or changes in health. The transition of the term into contemporary language has allowed it to encompass various contexts, from ill health to expressive shouting in sports and entertainment, contributing to its common use today.
