Etymology of HAUNTS
The word "haunts" can be traced back to Middle English and Old French.
In Middle English, the word was "haunten", which meant "to frequent" or "to visit often". This term derived from Old French "hanter", meaning "to frequent" or "to inhabit".
Old French "hanter" has its roots in the Frankish language, a Germanic dialect spoken in the Frankish Kingdom, which encompassed parts of modern-day France and Germany. The Frankish term was "haimjan", meaning "to dwell" or "to home".
