来自荷兰语hutselen,摇动,搅拌,扔,后受英语拼写习惯影响字母t,s置换,词干hot-,hut-在日耳曼语系中义为摇动。进入英语后引申词义前后摇摆,摆来摆去,引申词义猛推,猛挤,强迫,以及妓女拉客,骗子骗钱等。受美国电影的影响,开始出现褒义化,如侠盗,神偷等,参照电影《美国骗局》。
The key-note and countersign of life in these cities [of the U.S. West] is the word "hustle." We have caught it in the East. but we use it humorously, just as we once used the Southern word "skedaddle," but out West the word hustle is not only a serious term, it is the most serious in the language. [Julian Ralph, "Our Great West," N.Y., 1893]Sense of "to get in a quick, illegal manner" is 1840 in American English; that of "to sell goods aggressively" is 1887.
(N. Amer. informal)move or act quickly
(北美,非正式)麻利点,抓紧点
