    1: to cut or sever with repeated irregular or unskillful blows

    2: to cut or shape by or as if by crude or ruthless strokes

    3: annoy, vex —often used with off

    Origin: 12th century ;

     Middle English hacken, hakken, going back to Old English *haccian (Class II weak verb, attested in the prefixed forms ahaccian "to hack out, peck out [eyes]," tohaccian "to hack to pieces"), going back to West Germanic *hakkō- (whence also Old Frisian tohakia "to hack to pieces," Middle Dutch hacken, haken "to cut with repeated blows," Middle High German hacken), of uncertain origin;

      * Note : This West Germanic verb is conventionally connected to the etymon of {hook:1|hook:1}, which is manifested in a variety of vowel grades, on the assumption that hacking or chopping might be done with a hook-shaped implement.;

    Origin: 1873 ;

     Verbal derivative of hack, noun, "board on which a hawk's food is placed, state of partial liberty under which a hawk is kept before training," of uncertain origin;

      * Note : The noun has been taken as a derivative of {hack:1|hack:1}, on the assumption that "hacked," i.e. chopped, food was placed on such a board; this appears to gain credence from a passage in a fifteenth-century manual of falconry (British Library MS. Harley 2340): "se hym euer to hackynge … and till he flyethe fro tre to tre, he woll come to hackynge; then he woll not come, but thu moste hacke and leue his mete opon a borde in his neste" (see: A.E.H. Swaen, "The booke of Hawkyng after prince Edwarde Kyng of Englande and its relation to the Book of St Albans," Studia Neophilogica, vol. 16 [1943], p. 26).;
