The origin of OK

Besides yes and no, Okay is probably the most popular English word in the world. But where did it come from? Traditionally, linguists hold their own opinions.

Some people say that okay was invented by Indians. There is such an Indian tribe named Chocktaw, who lives in the rich Mississippi River valley and lives by planting and fishing. Whenever there is a problem, the leader of Chocktaw will sit down with the tribal leader to discuss it. If someone agrees with others, they will nod and say "Okeh", which means "That's it". When Europeans first arrived in America, they heard a lot of Indian words and developed them into English words. Today, the names of many cities, rivers and mountains in the United States are derived from Indian languages.

There is also a credible saying: the word Okay was invented by a political group in the19th century. A man named Martin Van Buren will run for president. His supporters set up a club to promote him. The name of the club is "Okay Club". It is said that the letters O and K are taken from Van Buren's hometown and his birthplace, Old Kinderhook, new york.

For such a popular word, naturally everyone may have their own story. However, I believe that the whole world will agree that okay is a pure American vocabulary and an excellent example of words crossing different languages. There is only one thing to be reminded: OK is commonly used in spoken English. In written language, we can use words such as consent, approval, approval and compliance to make it more formal.
