WHAT ARE THE ROOTS OF “OK”?

OK is an American English word denoting approval, acceptance or agreement. OK has been

described as the most 8.1. ______________________ used word on the planet. There have

been numerous attempts to trace the origin of OK, but many of the 8.2. _________________

that have emerged are pure speculation.

One likely theory is that the term originated during the American presidential elections in

1840 as the Democratic Party slogan. Their candidate was President Martin Van Buren. A

group of his supporters formed the “OK Club”. OK stood for the initials of Van Buren’s

nickname, Old Kinderhook. The abbreviation gained 8.3. ______________________ among

voters and started to be used all over the world in subsequent years.

Another theory with at least some degree of credibility is that OK was first used by slaves

from West Africa as it meant all right or yes indeed in 8.4. ______________________ West

African languages. However, little evidence has been found to support this theory.
