Where this word comes from
Origin ultimately uncertain. Related to harv (“harrow”), according to Bokmålsordboka. The semantic connection may be through the figurative development “rough or careless working; things jumbled together” and hence “an unordered mass or group”. Compare Nynorsk harve (“to work quickly and carelessly”) and hurve (“to work carelessly; proceed heedlessly”), and Swedish härva (“skein; tangle, confused affair”), probably derived from harv (“harrow”). The precise formation and vowel development are uncertain.
