In 1777, Cook wrote that the word taboo ... has a very comprehensive meaning; but, in general, signifies that a thing is forbidden.... When any thing is forbidden to be eat, or made use of, they say, that it is taboo. Cook was in Tonga at the time, and so it is the Tongan form tabu that is the source of the English word taboo.
