interjection
archaic
An exclamation used to express encouragement, high spirits, or mild surprise.
Heigh appears most often doubled, as in "heigh-ho", a cheerful call used in old songs and stories to greet the day or urge others onward. Writers of earlier centuries used heigh on its own to express sudden delight or to call for attention, much as a modern speaker might use "hey". The word survives today mainly through quotation of old rhymes rather than in ordinary conversation.
