词源
hitch (v.)mid-15c., probably from Middle English icchen “to move as with jerks or pauses; to stir” (c. 1200), a word of unknown origin. The connection with icchen might be in notion of “hitching up” pants or boots with a jerking motion. Sense of “become fastened,” especially by a hook, first recorded 1570s, originally nautical. Meaning “to marry” is from 1844 (to hitch horses together “get along well,” especially of married couples, is from 1837, American English). Short for hitchhike (v.) by 1931. Related: Hitched; hitching. To (figuratively) hitch (one’s) wagon to a star is by 1862.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
hitch (v.)mid-15c.,可能来自中古英语 icchen “像抽动或停顿一样移动;搅拌”(约 1200 年),一个来源不明的词。与 icchen 的联系可能是通过猛拉动作“拉起”裤子或靴子的概念。 “被固定”的意思,尤其是通过钩子,首次记录于 1570 年代,最初是航海方面的。 “结婚”的意思源自 1844 年(“把马拴在一起”“相处融洽”,尤其是已婚夫妇,源自 1837 年美式英语)。 1931 年成为 hitchhike (v.) 的缩写。搭便车。 (象征性地)将(某人的)马车拴在一颗星星上是在 1862 年。相关条目及更多
