ETYMOLOGY: Alteration of hallo, alteration of obsolete holla, stop!, from Old French hola : ho, ho! + la, there (from Latin illc, that way)
-----
"Hello" was not a word invented by Thomas Edison or Alexander Bell for answering the telephone, as some people believe. Many etymologists are quick to dismiss "Hello" as a variant of "Hallo," "Hullo," and "Halloo" -- all words used for hailing or greeting in the past.
vagyis a latin, "hé, te ott!" ból van.. és onnan vettük át mi is.
