Huh. I was gonna answer you that you were incorrect, hooch is slang only for booze, liquor. But you got the jump on me, as somebody once said somewhere [I've been answering slang questions all night]. You are correct. I am wrong. On the other hand, I do have your answer. It comes from the Viet Nam War and is also sometimes spelled hootch. It means a simple hut or small homely house, either civilian or military.
The term "hooch" for a dwelling originated during the Vietnam War. It comes from the Japanese word "uchi," which means house or home. American soldiers serving in the Pacific during WWII picked up this term and adapted it to "hooch" to refer to their makeshift living quarters.
The root word 'home' means 'habitual dwelling place' or 'place of origin'.
The root of the word "home" is believed to originate from the Old English word "ham" or "hΔm," which referred to a village or estate. Over time, the term evolved to represent the concept of a permanent residence or dwelling place.
The word "harping" originated from the Old English word "hearpan," which referred to playing the harp or a similar stringed instrument. Over time, the term evolved to encompass the act of persistently talking about or dwelling on a topic, similar to the repetitive nature of playing a harp.
