Etymology
The term 'tallyho' originated in England in the 18th century and is believed to be derived from the hunting world. It is thought to be a corruption of the earlier phrase 'tally-ho, away!' which was used to signal the departure of a fox during a hunt. The word 'tally' is believed to have roots in the Old French word 'tallier', meaning 'to tally' or 'to count', which reflects the hunting practice of keeping track of the foxes. Over time, 'tallyho' became widely adopted beyond hunting circles, embodying a sense of excitement and adventure. It has since been popularized in various forms of literature and media, often conveying a spirited enthusiasm.
