This is one of the most commonly spoken words in English. It's the salutation that begins almost every phone conversation, and it can also be an expression of surprise, especially in British English. Example: "When he uncovered a perfect trilobite fossil, Professor Bains exclaimed 'Hello! What a find!'" As you might expect for such a common word, its origins are extremely ancient. In Chaucer's time, the word was hallow, and by the time of Shakespeare it was halloo. The root may have been a cry, holla (Stop!), which probably came from Old French hola (Ho there!), a compound of ho (ho!) and la (there).
