Running or moving quickly; rushing about with speed and urgency.
From the verb 'hare,' derived from Old English hara, the animal known for its swift running. The verb form emerged from observing how hares move—so fast that 'haring' became synonymous with running at top speed.
Animals gave us some of our best speed verbs—'hare' for fast, 'snail' for slow—which shows how our ancestors watched wildlife to describe motion.
