Definition hullabaloo

Etymology

According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), this is a native English word, first appearing in print in 1762 (Smollett). The OED and other etymologists do not consider the possibility that the word was introduced from India into the English language. The term hullabol is still used in Indian English to describe a type of public demonstration, involving making a great noise. Hulla is either derived from hamla (“attack”) or from halhala (“ululation”) from Persian via Urdu; bol is from the Hindi verb bolna (bolna, “to utter or say”).
