Where this word comes from

Uncertain. Probably derived from hulot (“opening made in the panel of a cable pit”), itself analyzable as houle (“swell (of water)”) + -ot, with intrusive -b- introduced by contamination from Poitevin loubier. Other theories derive the term from an alteration of the hapax huvelot, from a suffixed form of huve (“type of headdress”).
