Moves or acts quickly, or causes someone or something to move or proceed faster.
From Middle English hurien, possibly from Old Norse hūrra (to move about) or imitative in origin. The exact source is uncertain, but it appeared in English around the 14th century as a verb meaning to move with haste. The third-person singular present adds -ies to the base form.
