Definition of holler

hollerverb

/ˈhɒlə(r)//ˈhɑːlər/

The word "holler" has its roots in the Appalachian region of the United States, specifically in the dialect of Scots-Irish settlers who came to the area in the early 1800s. It is believed that the word originated from the Scottish-Gaelic "cuall," which means "hollow" or "valley." In Appalachian English, the term "holler" has come to describe a narrow valley between hills or mountains. It is also used to refer to a loud and distinctive call or shout, as well as a place where such calls are frequently heard. The meaning of "holler" has evolved over time, with some Appalachians using it to describe a large body of people gathered together, such as a church group singing gospel songs. The term has also been used to describe a small clearing or opening in the forest, as well as a noisy gathering place for children playing. Today, "holler" is still commonly used in Appalachia and has become a part of the regional lexicon. It is a testament to the unique dialect and culture of the Appalachian people, who have proudly preserved their history and traditions for generations.
