Origin of the word hurry

The word "hurry" originated from the Old English word "hyran", which meant "to hasten" or "to be in a hurry". This Old English word is also related to the Gothic word "husron", which means "to rush". By the 14th century, the Middle English word "hurry" emerged, meaning "to hasten" or "to make haste". It was often used in the sense of "to hasten or press forward with a sense of urgency or anxiety". Over time, the verb "hurry" evolved to include various nuances, such as hurrying to complete a task, hurrying to arrive at a destination, or hurrying to avoid something. Today, "hurry" is a common word in many languages, often used to convey a sense of speed, urgency, or anxiety.
