History
Etymology
From hoove + -en.
From Middle English hoven, alteration of Old English hafen, ġehafen by analogy with class 4 strong verbs (compare broken, past participle of breken (“to break”)), from Proto-Germanic *habanaz, past participle of Proto-Germanic *habjaną (“to lift, heave”), equivalent to hove + -en. Compare German Low German hoven (“hoven”, past participle), German gehoben (“hoven”, past participle). More at heave.
