Etimologie (Engels)

From Middle Dutch *hoeven, of uncertain origin and formation. Cognates, such as Middle Low German hö̂ven (“to require, need”) and West Frisian hoeve (“to need, want”), are attested much more sparsely, and later, than those of the prefixed forms (e.g. Dutch behoeven). It therefore appears that hoeven is a back-formation from behoeven.
