Etymology
First attested circa w:17th century|17th century, alteration of huzzah. This is however questionable. Another plausible etymology is from Mongolian war cry ÑÑÑа (urra), which made its way to Slavic languages as ÑÑа (urá) in 12-13 century, and later to the Ger. languages: hurra in German, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian.
