hoolie
A variant of hooley; the further etymology of etymology 2 sense 1 (“noisy celebration or party”) is unknown. Etymology 2 sense 2 (“strong wind”) is possibly from one of the following:
borrowed from Orkney Scots hool(an) (“strong wind”) + English -ie (diminutive suffix). Hoolan is derived from Norn (unattested), from Old Norse ýlun (“howling, wailing”), from ýla (“to howl”) (ultimately onomatopoeic) + -un (suffix forming nouns).
from etymology 2 sense 1.
From “tulaidh” in Scottish Gaelic, often a prefix, indicating extremity, starkness, things taken to an ultimate extent, an absolute degree, which, lenited as “thulaidh” would be pronounced “hoolie”.
