Pronunciation
Etymology
Middle English hurten, hirten, hertan 'to injure, scathe, knock together', from Anglo-Norman hurter 'to ram into, strike, collide with' (compare French heurter 'to knock against, oppose'), ultimately from Old Norse hrútr 'ram (male sheep)', lengthened-grade variant of hjǫrtr 'stag',[1] from *xerutuz, xerutaz 'hart'. More at hart. Old French also gave Middle High German hurten and Dutch horten.
Alternate etymology traces Middle English hurten, hirten, hertan to Old Northern French hurter "to ram into, strike, collide with", of Germanic origin, from Frankish *hūrt "a battering ram" from Proto-Germanic *hrūtanan (“to fall, beat”) from Proto-Indo-European *krow- (“to fall, beat, break”), also related to Dutch horten "to push against, strike", Middle Low German hurten "to run at, collide with", Old Norse hrūtr "battering ram".
