Этимология

[ hont, hänt ] (verb.) 14th century. From Middle English haunten (“to reside, inhabit, use, employ”), from Old French hanter (“to inhabit, frequent, resort to”), of Germanic origin, probably through Gothic * (haimatjan, “to lead home”), from Proto-Germanic *haimatjanan (“to house, bring home”), from Proto-Germanic *haimaz (“village, home”), from Proto-Indo-European *kōim- (“village”). Cognate with Old English hāmettan (“to provide housing to, bring home”), Old Norse heimta (Swedish hämta, “to bring home, fetch”), Old English hām (“home, village”), Old French hantin (“a stay, a place frequented by”) from the same Germanic source.
