hurrahhurrayint.n.

/hʊˈrɑː//həˈrɑː/ /hʊˈreɪ//həˈreɪ/
Forms: Also 1600s– hurra, 1700s hurrea, whurra, 1800s hooray, ( hooroar), hourra.
Etymology: A later substitute for huzza int. and n. (not in Johnson, Ash, Walker; in Todd 1818), perhaps merely due to onomatopoeic modification, but possibly influenced by some foreign shouts: compare Swedish, Danish, Low German hurra!, Dutch hoera!, Russian ura! whence French houra; French hourra is from English. Middle High German had hurr, hurrâ, as interjections representing rapid whirring motion (compare hurren to rush), whence also a shout used in chasing. According to Moriz Heyne in Grimm, hurrah was the battle-cry of the Prussian soldiers in the War of Liberation (1812–13), and has since been a favourite cry of soldiers and sailors, and of exultation. In English the form hurrah is literary and dignified; hooray is usual in popular acclamation.
A. int.
A shout expressive of approbation, encouragement, or exultation; used esp. as a ‘cheer’ at public assemblies or the like.
