Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: harwe

Overgenomen van Oudengels: *hearwa

Verwant aan Deens: harve

Verwant aan Nederlands: hark

Overgenomen van Oudengels: hergian

In summary

From Middle English harwe, harow, from Old English *hearwa (perhaps ultimately cognate with harvest), or from Old Norse harfr/herfi; compare Danish harve (“harrow”), Dutch hark (“rake”). Akin to Latin carpere. According to the OED, the verb senses are partly derived from the noun sense, partly from a by-form of the verb harry, itself from Old English hergian.
