助記提示
1. hare "野兔"，做動詞講是“飛跑”之意，因為野兔跑得很快，但是 hare (v.) 的古義并不是“飛跑”，而是“harry, harass, frighten”，這是源于 harry 或者與 harry 同源，因此可以說 hare (v.) 是先受 harry 的影響，后受到 hare (n.) 的影響，在這兩個單詞的影響下就變成了如今的含義，野兔在受到騷擾、驚嚇的情況下肯定會飛跑逃命的。
2. hare (v.) 今義“飛跑”=> 古義：harry, harass, frighten => har-"harry, harass, frighten": harry (雙寫r加-y), harass.
3. 因此 harry 與 harass 是同源近義詞，都表示騷擾、侵擾；使煩惱、苦惱。
4. harry：Harry?Porter從小就受到——襲擾，折磨。

英文詞源
- harry
- harry: [OE] Etymologically, to harry is to ‘go on a raid as an army does’. The word comes ultimately from prehistoric Germanic *kharjaz, which meant ‘crowd of people’ and also ‘army’ (it also produced English harangue, harbinger, harbour, and harness). From it was formed the verb *kharōjan, which passed into Old English as hergian. This developed into modern English harry, and it also produced the verb harrow ‘rob, plunder’, now obsolete except in the expression harrowing of hell (which denotes the rescuing by Christ, after his crucifixion, of the souls of the righteous held in captivity in hell).
=> harangue, harbinger, harbour, harness, harrow - harry (v.)
- Old English hergian "make war, lay waste, ravage, plunder," the word used in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for what the Vikings did to England, from Proto-Germanic *harjon (cognates: Old Frisian urheria "lay waste, ravage, plunder," Old Norse herja "to make a raid, to plunder," Old Saxon and Old High German herion, German verheeren "to destroy, lay waste, devastate"). This is literally "to overrun with an army," from Proto-Germanic *harjaz "an armed force" (cognates: Old English here, Old Norse herr "crowd, great number; army, troop," Old Saxon and Old Frisian heri, Dutch heir, Old High German har, German Heer, Gothic harjis "a host, army").
The Germanic words come from PIE root *koro- "war" also "war-band, host, army" (cognates: Lithuanian karas "war, quarrel," karias "host, army;" Old Church Slavonic kara "strife;" Middle Irish cuire "troop;" Old Persian kara "host, people, army;" Greek koiranos "ruler, leader, commander"). Weakened sense of "worry, goad, harass" is from c. 1400. Related: Harried; harrying. - Harry
- masc. proper name, a familiar form of Henry. Weekley takes the overwhelming number of Harris and Harrison surnames as evidence that "Harry," not "Henry," was the Middle English pronunciation of Henry. Compare Harriet, English equivalent of French Henriette, fem. diminutive of Henri.
