In summary

Inherited from Middle French huer (“to hoot”), from Old French huer (“to shout to frighten an animal, or to release dogs for a chase”), probably from Old Norse *huta (“to shout, make a noise”). Compare Norwegian huta (“to shout, make a noise, shout commands at a dog”). More at houspiller.
