Some speakers do not pronounce the ‘h’ at the beginning of historical and use ‘an’ instead of ‘a’ before it. This now sounds old-fashioned.
Word Originlate Middle English: via Latin from Greek historikos, from historia ‘narrative, knowing by enquiry’, from histōr ‘learned, wise man’, from an Indo-European root shared by wit ‘have knowledge’.
