n.1590s, “cloth having a velvet nap on one side,” perhaps from Old English sceacga “rough matted hair or wool,” from Proto-Germanic *skagjan (cf. Old Norse skegg, Swedish skägg “beard”), perhaps related to Old High German scahho “promontory,” Old Norse skagi “a cape, headland,” with a connecting sense of “jutting out, projecting.” But the word appears to be missing in Middle English. Of tobacco, “cut in fine shreds,” it is recorded from 1789; of carpets, rugs, etc., from 1946. v.1“copulate with,” 1788, probably from obsolete verb shag (late 14c.) “to shake, waggle,” which probably is connected to shake. And þe boot, amydde þe water, was shaggid. [Wyclif] Cf. shake it in U.S. blues slang from 1920s, ostensibly with reference to dancing. But cf. also shag (v.), used from 1610s in a sense “to roughen or make shaggy.” Also the name of a dance popular in U.S. 1930s and ’40s. Related: Shagged; shagging. n.1660s, “act of hauling,” from haul (v.). Meaning “something gained” is from 1776, perhaps on notion of “drawing” a profit, or of the catch from hauling fishing nets. Meaning “distance over which something must be hauled” (usually with long or short) is attested from 1873. v.2in baseball, “to go after and catch” (fly balls), by 1913, of uncertain origin. Century Dictionary has it as a secondary sense of a shag (v.) “to rove about as a stroller or beggar” (1851), which is perhaps from shack (n.) “disreputable fellow” (1680s), short for shake-rag, an old term for a beggar. v.1580s, hall, variant spelling of Middle English halen (see hale (v.)), representing a change in pronunciation after c.1200. Spelling with -au- or -aw- is from early 17c. Related: Hauled; hauling. To haul off “pull back a little” before striking or otherwise acting is American English, 1802.
