Origen e historia

From Old English 'hīeran', from a Proto-Germanic root shared with German 'hören' and Dutch 'horen'. The word 'ear' comes from a different root, so despite their connection in meaning, 'hear' and 'ear' are not etymologically related. The parliamentary 'Hear, hear!' is short for 'Hear him, hear him!'
