It traces the shift from “All Hallows’ Day” and “All Hallows’ Even,” defining “hallow” as an old word meaning holy or very special, and “even” as an old word for evening. It then describes how people shortened the name over time, including the apostrophe as a sign of removed letters, and notes Robert Burns’s 1785 poem that helped spread the term.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/all-hallows-eve-how-halloween-got-its-name-answer-key/486845/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/all-hallows-eve-how-halloween-got-its-name-answer-key/486845.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"acoobca","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-04","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",9,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the main idea of the passage about Halloween?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The passage explains how the word “Halloween” got its name and how it became shorter over time.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What does “hallow” mean in the passage?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"It means holy, or very special.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"Why did people change “All Hallows' Even” into “Hallowe'en”?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"They got tired of saying such a long name, so they trimmed it down.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},486845,1790884494,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",[84,88,92,95,100,105,110,115,119,122,126],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":85,"show_sort_weight":86,"slug":87},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":89,"show_sort_weight":90,"slug":91},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},70,"exam",{"id":96,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":97,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":99},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":101,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},8,"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":55,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":116,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":118},"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":117,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":117,"slug":121},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":123,"slug":125},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":96,"slug":129},19,"General","general",{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":131},{"doc_id":79,"user_id":132,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":133,"doc_module":4,"category_id":33,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":134,"file_id":135,"file_url":136,"file_type":137,"file_size":138,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":96,"language":139,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":140,"faqs":141,"seo_title":142,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":143,"read_time":144,"preview_page_count":4},3985747870733,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_a8503ba1806abce46bf441b54a3ca4cd","Did you know the word \"Halloween\" is like a nickname? It started as a much longer word that people made shorter and shorter over the years. Say it out loud: Hal-lo-ween. That squished-up word hides a little secret about how the holiday got its name.  \nThe secret begins with a day you might not know: All Saints' Day. Long ago, people set aside November 1 to  \nremember special people called saints, and they gave this day the name \"All Hallows' Day. \" The word \"hallow\" is an old word that means holy, or very special.  \nEvery big day has a night before it, and this one did too. The evening before All Hallows' Day was called \"All Hallows' Even,\" because \"even\" was an old word for evening. Little by little, people got tired of saying such a long name, so they trimmed it down to \"Hallowe'en. \"  \nThat tiny mark in \"Hallowe'en\" was like a bookmark showing where letters were snipped out. A Scottish poet named Robert Burns wrote a poem called\"Halloween\" way back in 1785, and it helped spread the spooky-sounding word.
