[ Origin ]

It's quite a formal phrase and fairly archaic, as it is from as far back as 1300. This phrase is often used in a formal setting, especially ceremonies where speeches or introductions will take place. Ado is an old word for 'fuss or commotion.' Using this phrase is a good way of bringing the assembled audience together, stopping the hubbub, or getting the crowd to focus on events in an old fashioned but polite way.

The most famous example of its use must be Shakespeare's 'Much ado about nothing.'

[ Examples ]
