单词 hullabaloo
释义

hullabaloon.int.

Brit. /ˌhʌləbəˈluː/, U.S. /ˈhələbəˌlu/, /ˌhələbəˈlu/
Forms: Also 1700s hollo-ballo, 1800s halloo-, halla-, holla-, hulla-balloo, -boloo, halli(e)-, holliballoo, hille-, hilli-, hally-, hurla-, hulabaloo, hilliebalow.
Etymology: The form remained unsettled until the early 20th cent.; it appears first in Scots and northern English writers and vocabularies. It is apparently the interj. halloo , hullo , hilloa , with rhyming reduplication, thus, halloo-baloo! The conjecture has been made, but without any evidence, that it was originally a wolf-hunting cry, and contained the French words bas le loup! (Compare balow int. and n.)
a. Tumultuous noise or clamour; uproar; clamorous confusion. Also figurative.
ΘΠ
the world > physical sensation > hearing and noise > degree, kind, or quality of sound > loudness > confused sound > [noun] > uproar or tumult
