Akin to Old Frisian hāst, hāste (“haste”), Old English hǣst (“violence”), Old English hǣste (“violent, impetuous, vehement”, adj), Old Norse heift/heipt (“feud”), Gothic ???????????????????????????? (haifsts, “rivalry”). Cognate with German and Danish heftig (“vehement”). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
