Word origin
The word 'hitches' originated from Middle English 'hacche' meaning 'a gate or wicket'. Over time, the meaning evolved to include obstacles or difficulties. The verb form 'hitch' likely comes from the act of hooking or catching onto something, similar to how a trailer is attached to a vehicle. The word has been in use for centuries, adapting to modern contexts while retaining its core meaning of a temporary obstruction or connection.
