How did the word "hattrick" originate?

Answer 1

The term was originally used in cricket, and was connected with the custom of giving a hat or cap to a bowler who achieved the feat of taking three wickets in a row. It may be connected with the concept of giving someone their "cap", i.e. acknowledging them as a regular member of a representative team. Another school of thought mentions that a bowler was challenged if he could take three in three. Hats were passed around to collect the odds. The bowler succeeded and collected the large amount of cash. Thus the term hat-trick could have been also derived from this event.

Another claim of where the term hat trick comes from, is that if a bowler took three wickets in three consecutive deliveries it was custom just to remove his hat and use it to collect money from spectators.

Answer 2

It is likely that "hat trick'' was originally applied to the feat in cricket of dismissal by the bowler of three batsmen with three consecutive balls. Apparently, cricket bowlers who accomplished this feat were awarded a bonus of a new hat. The earliest printed evidence of this "hat trick'' is from 1882. The term is now applied to hockey and soccer as well, and means the scoring of three goals - not necessarily consecutively - by one player in one game.

noun three successes of the same kind, especially (in soccer) a player scoring three goals in a game or (in cricket) a bowler taking three wickets with successive balls.
