Tally-ho dates from around 1772, and is probably derived from the French taïaut, a cry used to excite hounds when hunting deer. [1]Taïaut may have originated in the second half of the 13th century by the concatenation of a two-word war-cry: taille haut, where "taille" is the cutting edge of a sword and "haut" means high or 'raised up'.
