Etymology

**Etymology of *ouh* (noun).** The noun *ouh* comes from the Middle French interjection *ouh*, an onomatopoeic echo of the sound of discomfort that evolved from the Latin exclamation *o* (used to attract attention or signal pain). It entered French in the 16th–17th centuries, with the final *h* added for phonetic emphasis, and later broadened into a colloquial noun to denote a troublesome or inconvenient situation.
