Okay (OK) is a colloquial English word denoting approval, acceptance, assent, or acknowledgment. OK is most likely short for “Oll Korrect,” a jokey misspelling of “All Correct” that needs a little historical context to make sense.

There's virtually no definitive answers but among the best are:

It comes from the fecetiously spelled phrase oll korrect

It comes from a presidential campaign slogan for Andrew Jackson - vote for Old Kinderhook.

It was a Choctaw Indian word.

It was a West African tribal word of slaves - waw-keh

All of these are from the early nineteenth century.

There is a well documented craze in Boston from the early 1800s that they liked to use abbreviations. Some documented examples are SP for Small Potatoes, NG for No Good and OW for Oll Wright. So it seems possible it could morph to Oll Korrect.

The word OK came from the USA, and is probably an abbreviation of orl korrect, a jokey spelling of 'all correct', that was used as a slogan during the presidential re-election campaign of Martin Van Buren (1782–1862) in 1840. It was reinforced by the initials of his nickname Old Kinderhook, derived from his birthplace.

O.K does not have an abbreviation. It is an abbreviation itself, and its full form is “Okay”

A more likely explanation is that the term originated as an abbreviation of orl korrekt , a jokey misspelling of 'all correct' which was current in the US in the 1830s

I faintly remember being told by someone during my school days that OK meant Opi Kritum. Does it make any sense in Latin?
