hurt: [12] English borrowed hurt from Old French hurter, which meant ‘knock’ (as its modern French descendant heurter still does). This sense died out in English in the 17th century, leaving only the metaphorically extended ‘wound, harm’. It is not clear where the Old French word came from, although it may ultimately be of Germanic origin. Hurtle [13], a derivative of hurt, also originally meant ‘knock’, and did not develop its present connotations of precipitate speed until the 16th century. => hurtle
hurt (v.)
c. 1200, "to injure, wound" (the body, feelings, reputation, etc.), also "to stumble (into), bump into; charge against, rush, crash into; knock (things) together," from Old French hurter "to ram, strike, collide," perhaps from Frankish *hurt "ram" (cognates: Middle High German hurten "run at, collide," Old Norse hrutr "ram"). The English usage is as old as the French, and perhaps there was a native Old English *hyrtan, but it has not been recorded. Meaning "to be a source of pain" (of a body part) is from 1850. To hurt (one's) feelings attested by 1779. Sense of "knock" died out 17c., but compare hurtle. Other Germanic languages tend to use their form of English scathe in this sense (Danish skade, Swedish skada, German schaden, Dutch schaden).
hurt (n.)
c. 1200, "a wound, an injury;" also "sorrow, lovesickness," from hurt (v.).
