Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French heurter, from Old French hurter (“to ram into, strike, collide with”), from Frankish *hūrt (“a battering ram”), from Proto-Germanic *hrūtaną, *hreutaną (“to fall, beat”), from Proto-Indo-European *krew- (“to fall, beat, smash, strike, break”). Cognate with Dutch horten (“to push against, strike”), Middle Low German hurten (“to run at, collide with”), Old Norse hrútr (“battering ram”).
