"haole" meaning in Hawaiian

See haole in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈhao̯.le/, [ˈhɐo̯.le]
Etymology: Unknown. The word pre-dates contact with Europeans. A popular folk etymology analyzes the word as hā (“breath”) + ʻole (“not”), referencing the fact that foreigners did not know the traditional honi greeting, which involves simultaneous inhalation. However, such a derivation is unlikely: haole lacks the long ā and glottal stop that would be expected if this were the origin of the word. Etymology templates: {{unk|haw}} Unknown, {{compound|haw|hā|ʻole|t1=breath|t2=not}} hā (“breath”) + ʻole (“not”), {{m|haw|honi}} honi Head templates: {{head|haw|noun|head=}} haole, {{haw-noun}} haole
