Definition haul

Etymology

From Middle English h?len, hailen, haulen, halien (“to drag, pull; to draw up, raise; to exert a drawing or hauling force; to pull at, tear at; to rush; to flow, run; to reach, stretch”), from Old French haler (“to haul, pull”), from Frankish *hal?n (“to drag, fetch, haul”) or Middle Dutch halen (“to drag, fetch, haul”), possibly merging with Old English *halian (“to haul, drag”); all from Proto-Germanic *hal?n?, *hal?n?, *hul?n? (“to call, fetch, summon”), from Proto-Indo-European *kelh?- (“to call, cry, summon”). The word is cognate with Danish hale (“to haul”), Middle Dutch halen (“to draw, fetch, haul”), Dutch halen (“to fetch, bring, haul”), Old Frisian halia, Saterland Frisian halen (“to draw, haul, pull”), Low German halen (“to draw, pull”), Old High German halôn, holôn, German holen (“to fetch, get”), Norwegian hale (“to haul”), Old Saxon halôn (“to fetch, get”), Swedish hala (“to hale, haul, pull, tug”), and related to Old English ?eholian (“to get, obtain”).

The noun is derived from the verb.
