ha

1. (archaic) Alternative form of a (“have”)

Attested early 14th century,[1] of onomatopoeic origin. Compare Danish ha, Dutch ha, Finnish ha, Hungarian ha, Latin ha, Latvian ha, Swedish ha.

ha

1. A representation of laughter.

   Ha, ha, ha! That’s funny.

2. An exclamation of triumph or discovery.

   Ha! Checkmate!

3. (archaic) An exclamation of grief.
4. (dated) A sound of hesitation: er, um.

When used to express laughter, the more it is reduplicated, the more it suggests expressive or sincere laughter. A single ha! (virtually always with an exclamation mark) may be used to express mild amusement or merely a polite reaction to something intended to be funny. In modern and informal usage, reduplication tends to be without spaces. See haha for more information on those forms.

Onomatopoeic.
