hoppa

1. Exclamation of encouragement or excitement, often said during the coordination or completion of a physical activity: let's go! alley-oop! there we go! hey presto!

   Synonyms: hop, hopla, hoplakee, hoppakee, hup, hupsakee, hupseflups

Possibly a reshaping of hopo and/or heppa. Alternatively from dialectal Swedish hoppa (“adult female horse”) or its Old Norse ancestor, whence also Danish hoppe, Norwegian hoppe of the same meaning, and related to English hobby (which see for more); ultimately from a Proto-Germanic verb meaning “hop”. In that case, heppa could be a blend of this word with the coincidentally similar but unrelated synonym hepo.
