| has gloss | eng: Huzzah (originally huzza, and in some North American dialects hurrah) is an English interjection of joy or approbation. According to the Oxford English Dictionary it is "apparently a mere exclamation" . The dictionary does not mention any specific derivation. Whatever its origins, it has seen occasional literary use since at least the time of Shakespeare. The North American spelling gave rise to the phrase "the last Hurrah", meaning a final, significant incident within a greater event, which became popular after it was used as the title of Edwin OConnors 1956 novel The Last Hurrah. |
