The correct spelling is "hangar."
It comes from the Old French word "hangard," which means "shelter" or "shed."

To expand on JohnTAdams3's answer, we get a fair bit of aviation terminology from French.
The military referrs to a mission as a sortie. From the French word meaning "exit." You counted your sorties when you exited from the plane alive. Airplanes weren't very reliable in the early days, hence the somewhat morbid way of counting missions.
