What common one-word greeting did not exist before 1883?
Answer:
Believe it or not, that word is "hello." The word has been used only since 1883. It became popular mainly because of the use of telephones although Alexander Graham Bell preferred the greeting "ahoy." (Imagine greeting people with "Ahoy!"). See the online Oxford English Dictionary, provided by IVCC's Jacobs Library, for more interesting facts about words.
