Best Answer

A hiccup and a hiccough are actually the same thing (pronounced the same as well). It is spelled hic'cough,' beacause, in the seventeenth century, it was believed that the act of hiccupping was related to 'cough'ing. Another term for hiccup (or hiccough) is singultus (though used MUCH less).
