Pronunciation Etymology 1
From Middle English hurten, hirten, hertan, from fro-nor hurter "to ram into, strike, collide with"; > Modern French heurter, perhaps from Frankish *hūrt, cognate with Welsh hwrdd and Cornish hordh.
Alternate etymology traces fro-nor hurter rather to Old Norse hrútr, lengthened-grade variant of hjǫrtr ("stag"), from Proto-Germanic *herutuz, *herutaz ("hart, male deer"), which would relate it to English hart ("male deer").
