词源：
hurdle (n.)Old English hyrdel “frame of intertwined twigs used as a temporary barrier,” diminutive of hyrd “door,” from Proto-Germanic *hurdiz “wickerwork frame, hurdle” (source also of Old Saxon hurth “plaiting, netting,” Dutch horde “wickerwork,” German Hürde “hurdle, fold, pen;” Old Norse hurð, Gothic haurds “door”), from PIE *krtis (source also of Latin cratis “hurdle, wickerwork,” Greek kartalos “a kind of basket,” kyrtos “fishing creel”), from root *kert- “to weave, twist together” (source also of Sanskrit krt “to spin”).
Used as temporary fencing in agriculture. Sense of “barrier to jump in a race” is by 1822 (hurdle-race also is from 1822); hurdles as a type of race (originally horse race) with hurdles as obstacles is attested by 1836. Figurative sense of “obstacle” is 1924.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
hurdle (n.)古英语 hyrdel “用作临时屏障的相互缠绕的树枝框架”，hyrd “门”的缩写，源自原始日耳曼语 *hurdiz “柳条框架，栏杆”（也源自古撒克逊人hurth“编织，网” ，” 荷兰语 horde “柳条制品”，德语 Hürde “栏杆、折叠、笔；”古挪威语 hurð，哥特式 haurds “门”），源自 PIE *krtis （也源自拉丁语 cratis “栏杆、柳条制品”，希腊语 kartalos “一种”篮子”，kyrtos“渔架”），源自词根 *kert-“编织、捻在一起”（也源自梵文 krt“旋转”）。用作农业临时围栏。 “障碍赛跑”的含义是在1822年（跨栏比赛也是从1822年开始）； 1836 年，跨栏作为一种竞赛（最初是赛马）得到了证实。“障碍”的比喻意义是 1924 年。相关条目及更多
