shivaree \shiv-uh-REE\ noun 1. a mock serenade with kettles, pans, horns, and other noisemakers given for a newly married couple; charivari. 2. Informal. an elaborate, noisy celebration. Quotes So in blind desperation I started such a rattling "shivaree" down below as never had astounded an engineer in this world before, I fancy. -- Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi, 1883 Origin Shivareeis an Americanism that entered English in the 1800s from the French charivari, which in turn is thought to derive from the Latin carībaria meaning "headache" on the hypothesis that such a noisy procession would cause a headache.
