Etymology
The term 'hooray' has its origins in the early 19th century, with various theories pointing to its derivation from the Middle English word 'hura', which was used as an exclamation of joy or approval. It is thought to have come from Dutch 'hoera', which means 'to shout in joy'. Over time, it evolved into a more generalized expression of celebration, often associated with communal activities like sporting events or parades. The spelling 'hooray' became prevalent in English texts and publications, reflecting its alignment with similar celebratory exclamations. As language evolved, the usage of this term spread, becoming a common vocal expression for expressing excitement and motivation. 'Hoorayed' as a past form captures that historical usage, illustrating a moment where joy was collectively shared.
