Origin:
The word "hurry" originated from the Proto-Indo-European root *ḱer-, which also gave rise to words like the Latin "celer" ("swift") and the Greek "κραίνω" ("to accomplish"). The Proto-Germanic form *hurjaną evolved into the Old English "hīrīgan," which eventually became "hurry" in Middle English.
The original meaning of "hurry" was "to hasten" or "to rouse up," but over time it came to encompass the broader sense of moving quickly or urging someone else to do so.
