We propose that the "hidden order parameter" in URu2Si2 is a helicity order that must arise if the Pomeranchuk criteria for the spin-antisymmetric Landau parameters with respect to the stability of a Fermi liquid state are violated. In a simple model, we calculate the specific heat, the linear and nonlinear magnetic susceptibilities, and the change of transition temperature in a magnetic field with such an order parameter, and obtain quantitative agreement with experiments in terms of two parameters extracted from the data. The peculiar temperature dependence of the NMR linewidth and the nature of the loss of excitations in the ordered phase seen by neutron scattering are also explained, and experiments are suggested to directly confirm the proposed order parameter.
