Etymology

The French interjection *euh* is a phonetic spelling of the hesitation sound “uh” that is also used in English. It first appeared in written French in the 19th century as a way to capture this spoken filler, reflecting the influence of English phonetics. The word has no ancient Latin or Greek root; it is an onomatopoeic borrowing that evolved to denote hesitation or doubt in conversation.
