Wikipedia lists List of proposed etymologies of OK many possible etymologies, of which the most widely accepted is that it is an abbreviation of en oll korrect oll/orl korrect, a comical spelling of en all correct, which first appeared in print in The Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839, as part of a fad for similar fanciful abbreviations in the United States during the late 1830s. The expression became popular through its use in the presidential campaign of Martin Van Buren in 1840, who was nicknamed en Old Kinderhook, and then slowly acquired other meanings.en https://www.npr.org/2025/07/23/nx-s1-5463788/ok-origin-martin-van-buren OK, is Martin Van Buren responsible for the tiny word that punches above its weight? All Things Considered Scott Neuman 2025-07-23 2025-07-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20260926075952/https://www.npr.org/2025/07/23/nx-s1-5463788/ok-origin-martin-van-buren 26 September 2026 The cho - word cho oke, cho okeh it is so, common in Choctaw translations of the Bible, could also explain OKs variety of affirmative definitions. Additionally, cho okeh was the most common etymology of okay in dictionaries until the 1960s, and linguistically predates Boston's O.K.. However, this theory suffers from the fact that the Choctaw language was relatively obscure and generally spoken (sometimes in a pidgin form) mainly with African-American slaves.
