Origin

Late 16th century (as a verb): from French hacher, from hache (see hatchet).

  • A hash is a dish of cooked meat cut into small pieces and then reheated in gravy. Its 16th-century origin is a French word meaning ‘an axe’, from which hatchet and the use of hatch meaning ‘to mark a surface with close parallel lines to represent shading’ also derive. The hash sign (the sign #) only dates from the 1980s and is probably also from this use of hatch. In the 18th century hash developed the sense of ‘a jumble of mismatched parts’, which forms the basis of the modern expression to make a hash of. See also hotchpotch

Usage

The symbol #, called hash in British English, has different names, some of them potentially confusing. In the US it is referred to as either the number sign (when used in contexts such as question #2) or the pound sign (when used as a symbol for pounds of weight, e.g. 2# of sugar). The technical name for it is octothorp.

Origin

1960s: probably from hatch3, altered by association with hash1.
