Forms: 1 osanna, 4 ossanna, 4–7 osanna, 6 hosianna, osan, 7 hosannah, 6– hosanna.
[ad. late L. osanna, hosanna (Vulg.), ad. Gr. ὠσαννά, ὡσαννά, repr. the Heb. hōshaﻋ-nā, abbreviated form of hōshīﻋāh-nnā save, pray! Cf. Ps. cxviii. 25, lxxxvi. 2. In Rabbinical literature the phrase occurs as a word in yōm-hōshaﻋnā, ‘hosanna-day’, the seventh day of the Feast of Booths, also as a name for the palm (or willow) branches carried in procession.]
A. int. An exclamation, meaning ‘Save now!’ or ‘Save, pray!’, occurring in Ps. cxviii. 25, which forms part of the Hallel at the Passover, and was in frequent liturgical use with the Jews, as an appeal for deliverance, and an acclamation or ascription of praise to God. At the entry of Jesus in Jerusalem it was shouted by the Galilean pilgrims in recognition of His Messiahship (Matt. xxi. 9, 15; Mark xi. 9, 10; John xii. 13), and it has been used from early times in the Christian Church as an ascription of praise to God and Christ.
