Definitions and meaning of havoc

Alternative forms

Etymology

From Middle English havok, havyk, from Old French havok in the phrase crier havok (cry havoc) a signal to soldiers to seize plunder, from Old French crier (cry out, shout) + havot (pillaging, looting), of obscure origin. Probably from a derivative of Old French *haf, hef (hook), from Frankish *haf, *habbjā, *happjā (pruning-hook, scythe), derived from Proto-Germanic *habjaną (to take up, lift), related to Old French havee (handful), Old French havet (pruning-hook), Old High German habba, heppa (pruning-hook, scythe), modern German Hippe (billhook). If so, then also related to English heave and doublet of hatchet.
