hiccupn.

Brit.

/ˈhɪkʌp/, U.S.

/ˈhɪkəp/

Forms:

α. 1500s hicke up, 1500s hikup, 1500s–1600s hickop, 1600s hecup, 1600s hickehope, 1600s hickhop, 1600s–1700s hiccop, 1600s–1800s hick-up, 1600s– hiccup, 1600s– hickup, 1900s– hekkup (English regional).

β. 1600s– hiccough.

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymons: hicket n., hickock n.

Etymology: Apparently a variant of either hicket n. or hickock n.: see hicket n. for discussion of the likely origin of the stem of all three of these form types. The β. forms almost certainly arose by folk-etymological alteration after cough n.; in spite of this, hiccough has long been considered by most to be the more appropriate spelling in formal writing.

a. An involuntary spasm of the respiratory organs, consisting in a quick inspiratory movement of the diaphragm checked suddenly by closure of the glottis, and accompanied by a characteristic sound. Also, the affection consisting in a succession of such spasms.
