Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: hauser

Verwant aan Frans: aussière

In summary

From Middle English hauser, haucer, from Anglo-Norman haucer, from Vulgar Latin *altiāre (“to raise”), derived from Latin altus (“high”). Altered in English by mistaken association with hawse and perhaps haul. Compare French aussière, haussière.
