Answer 3

Okay is an informal term of approval, assent, or acknowledgment (often written as OK or O.K.). When used to describe the quality of something, it denotes being fit for purpose ("this is okay to send out") or of a quality which is acceptable but not great ("the food was okay"). When used in dialogue, it can denote compliance ("okay, I'll do that"), agreement ("okay, that's good"), a wish to defuse a situation or calm someone ("okay, it's not that bad"), or even formal approval ("you're okay to do that"). As with most slang, its meaning is determined by context or type of speech.

The origins of okay are not known with certainty, and have been the subject of much discussion and academic interest over the years. While it originated as an English language word it is commonly used in many other languages in the 21st Century.

Answer 5

the origin of "O.K.," the most widely heard traces "O.K." to the "O.K. Club," a political committee supporting Martin Van Buren's unsuccessful bid for the Presidency in 1840. The "O.K.," it is said, was short for "Old Kinderhook," Van Buren's nickname.

    

Answer 6

I haven't seen the correct answer so far!

OK has two sources.  It originally was from the old English "oll's korrect," and was brought back when Martin Van Buren ran for President.  His nickname was "Old Kinderhook," and his campaign slogan was "Old Kinderhook is OK by me!"
