Origin

Old English hafoc, heafoc, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch havik and German Habicht.

In politics a hawk, a person who advocates hard-line or warlike policies, contrasts with a dove, a peacemaker. The terms emerged in the early 1960s at the time of the Cuban missile crisis, when the Soviet Union threatened to install missiles in Cuba within striking distance of the USA. To hawk meaning ‘to carry about and offer goods for sale’ was formed in the late 15th century, probably by removing the ending from hawker, ‘a person who travels around selling goods’. The latter word is not recorded until the early 16th century, when hawkers came to legal notice as something of a nuisance to be suppressed, but was most likely in use long before it was written down. It is related to huckster (Middle English), from a root meaning ‘to haggle, bargain’. See also haggard
