to work hard Explanation: Hustle comes from the Dutch word for "shake" or "toss." As a noun, a hustle is a busy, hurried scene, like the hustle of the subway at rush hour. We also call the act of swindling a hustle, because it happens so fast. As a verb, hustle can either mean to swindle someone or to hurry them, or to work hard. It is also defined as a swindle in which you cheat at gambling or persuade a person to buy worthless property. Example sentence(s):
