🎃 Haunting (Fun) 100 Facts About Halloween Some of the earliest uses of the word Halloween or Hallowe’en date back as far as 1745, in association with Christian origins.
The word Hallowe’en in Scottish means saints evening and would have been written as All Hallows’ Eve.
The word “eve” or “even,” shortening of evening in Scottish, would sometimes be written or pronounced as een or e’en.
Over time, All Hallows Evening became abbreviated to Hallowe’en.
Guising was the original trick-or-treating. Guising was a British term used for the act of dressing up in a way so that your identity is disguised.
The act of guising has been recorded in Scotland from as early as the 16th Century.
One of the main ways of “guising” was to wear a mask or face covering on Halloween.
In the 1800s, this began to develop into wearing masquerade masks whilst going round to homes “souling” or asking for fruit.
