Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words-

Hosanna: In the Hebrew, means "save, we pray." The word seems to have become an utterance of praise rather than of prayer, though originally, probably, a cry for help. The people's cry at the Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem ( Mat 21:9,15; Mar 11:9,10; Jhn 12:13) was taken from Ps. 118, which was recited at the Feast of Tabernacles (see FEAST) in the great Hallel (Psalms 113 to 118) in responses with the priest, accompanied by the waving of palm and willow branches. "The last day of the feast" was called "the great Hosanna;" the boughs also were called "hosannas."

Answer 3

The word Hosanna originally meant 'Save us!'. From being a cry for help, it came to be used as a cry of praise - an affirmation of help already promised or on its way. It appears in psalm 118 verse 25, one of the 'Hallel' psalms which was sung at Passover.

[As Jesus entered into Jerusalem -] The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Hosanna in the highest!"
Matthew chapter 21, verse 9 NIV
