hug

hug: [16] Etymologically, hug seems to convey the notion of ‘consolation, solicitude’; the expression of such feelings by clasping someone in one’s arms is apparently a secondary semantic development. The word is of Scandinavian origin, and is probably related to, if not borrowed from Old Norse hugga ‘comfort, console’. This was descended from a prehistoric Germanic *hugjan, which also produced Old English hogian ‘think, consider, be solicitous’.

hug (v.)

1560s, hugge "to embrace," of unknown origin; perhaps from Old Norse hugga "to comfort," from hugr "courage, mood," from Proto-Germanic *hugjan, related to Old English hycgan "to think, consider," Gothic hugs "mind, soul, thought." Other have noted the similarity in some senses to German hegen "to foster, cherish," originally "to enclose with a hedge." Related: Hugged; hugging. The noun was originally (1610s) a hold in wrestling. Meaning "affectionate embrace" is from 1650s.
