Etymology

1. From Old High German hīwan (“to marry”), from Proto-Germanic *hīwijaną, related to *hīwą (“marriage”).
2. The remarkable semantic development of this verb can be followed from Old High German through Middle High German to modern German dialects; it goes: “to marry” → “to copulate, fuck” → “to rape” → “to plague” → “to hit” → “to throw”. The last sense is also found in Alemannic German. Cognate with Dutch huwen (“to marry”, in early modern Dutch also “to fuck, rape”). Also related with German Heirat (“marriage”). See: Old High German 'hīwan', Dutch 'huwen'.
