hogmanay [hogmanay 词源字典]: hogmanay: [17] Hogmanay is the Scottish term for ‘New Year’s Eve’, and so might reasonably be supposed to be of Gaelic origin, but in fact it is not. It appears to come from hoguinané, the Norman dialect version of Old French aguillanneuf, a greeting given when exchanging New Year’s gifts (and possibly a contraction of accueillis l’an neuf ‘welcome the new year’).
