Etymology
The term "tallyho" originally emerged in the 18th century and is believed to be derived from the French phrase "tรขcher haut," which means 'to chase high.' It gained prominence within English hunting lexicon, first recorded in literature around 1762. The hunting jargon was popular among fox hunters in England, where a keen shout of 'tallyho' was essential to signal the dogs and fellow hunters about the sighting of the prey. Over time, its use spread into more general contexts, embodying a sense of excitement and alertness. As outdoor activities evolved, so did the usage of tallyho, though its roots remain firmly planted in the hunting tradition.
