In summary

From Middle High German harren, further origin is unclear. Popularised by Luther. Perhaps borrowed from Middle Low German harren, harden (“to wait, await”), from Old Saxon *hardōn (“to become hard, harden, be steadfast, await”), from Proto-West Germanic *hardēn (“to become hard, endure, wait, persevere”), related to Old High German hartēn (“to harden, await, endure, be steadfast”). Cognate with German Low German harren (“to await”), Saterland Frisian häide (“to endure, bear”), Middle Dutch verharren (“to be or become overly firm”).
