Etymology of HOOTS
The word "hoots" is a late Middle English variant of the word "hoot", derived from the Old English word "hōt" or "hȳtan". This word originally referred to the cry of an owl and was used to imitate its sound. It is believed to be an onomatopoeic term created to mimic the hooting sound that owls make. Over time, the word "hoot" also came to be used metaphorically to mean a derisive or mocking expression, expressing a sense of scorn or disbelief. The plural form "hoots" is simply the pluralization of "hoot", referring to multiple owl cries or expressions of derision.
