Word origin
The word 'hear' originated from the Old English word 'hieran', which is related to the Dutch 'horen' and German 'hรถren'. The Indo-European root is 'kous-', which means 'to hear'. The sense 'give an ear to' dates back to the late 14th century, while 'perceive by the ear' is from the early 15th century.
