Ahoy (/ÉËhÉÉª/) is a signal word used to signal a ship or boat, stemming from the Middle English cry, 'Hoy!'. The word had fallen into obsolescence before rising from obscurity as the sport of sailing rose in popularity. 'Ahoy' can also be used as a greeting, a warning, or a farewell.
mid-15c., irken be weary of, be disgusted with; earlier intransitive, to feel weary (early 14c.). Of uncertain origin, perhaps related to Old Norse yrkja work (from PIE root *werg- to work; see urge (v.)), or Middle High German erken to disgust.. Modern sense of annoy is from late 15c. An adjective, irk weary, tired is attested from c.1300 in northern and midlands writing.
