Huzzah
Exclamation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huzzah (sometimes written hazzah; originally spelled huzza[1][2] in most modern varieties of English hurrah or hooray) is, according to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), "apparently a mere exclamation".[3] The dictionary does not mention any specific derivation. Whatever its origins, it has seen occasional literary use since at least the time of Shakespeare, as the first use was in 1573, according to Merriam-Webster.[4]
