foreigner · Caucasian · Englishman, Englishwoman, American
köken: Unknown. The word predates contact with Europeans. A popular folk etymology analyzes the word as hā (“breath”) + ʻole (“not”), referencing the fact that foreigners did not know the traditional honi greeting, which involves simultaneous inhalation. However, such a derivation is unlikely: haole lacks the long ā and glottal stop that would be expected if this were the origin of the word.
