Spørsmål:
Hva er opprinnelsen til ordet/ordene ok (okay, okei, all right, ålreit osv.)? Hva stammer det fra?
Svar:
Opprinnelsen til OK er usikker. Den mest aksepterte forklaringen er visstnok at det er en forkortelse for Old Kinderhook (fødestedet til formannen i en liberal klubb i USA litt før midten av 1800-tallet). OK fikk karakter av slagord. Du kan lese mer i Bevingede ord (4. utg., Kunnskapsforlaget).
Vennlig hilsen
Tor Guttu
