Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen français: huyct

Hérité de ancien français: uit

Hérité de latin: octō

In summary

Inherited from Middle French huyct, from Old French uit, from Latin octō, from Proto-Indo-European *oḱtṓw.
The h- was added in Middle French to avoid confusion with vit when the letters u and v were not distinguished; compare the same in huile, etc. That huit does not undergo initial liaison is in fact due to a general rule for numerals (compare un, onze), not to a historically aspirated onset.
