英语词汇hobo的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

hobo. True hoboes claim that they will work whereas tramps and bums will not, and, indeed, the first hoboes, in the 1890s and early 1900s, were often migrating workers who carried their IWW union cards. The word hobo is of uncertain origin. Perhaps it derives from a once common greeting of vagabonds to each other: “Ho! Bo” (Ho! a form of “Hi!” and Bo meaning “guy or brother”). This seems to be the most popular explana- tion, but wandering homeward bound Civil War veterans have also been suggested, as have hoe boys who left the farm and were on the road. The word is first recorded in the American Pacific Northwest, about 1889.
