harness

• vt. 治理；套；驾驭；披上甲胄；利用
• n. 马具；甲胄；挽具状带子；降落伞背带

来自古法语harnois,武器，装备，可能来自herr,军队，词源同harry,here,拼写受名词后缀-ness影响俗化。后由于战马的重要性引申词义马具，换具，以及动词词义控制马或其它家畜，现多用于指控制和利用自然。

1. a support consisting of an arrangement of straps for holding something to the body (especially one supporting a person suspended from a parachute)

2. stable gear consisting of an arrangement of leather straps fitted to a draft animal so that it can be attached to and pull a cart

harness

harness: [13] Etymologically, harness is ‘equipment for an army’. It comes via Old French herneis ‘military equipment’ from an unrecorded Old Norse *hernest, a compound formed from herr ‘army’ (a descendant of prehistoric Germanic *kharjaz ‘crowd’ and related to English harangue, harbinger, harbour, and harry) and nest ‘provisions’.

English took it over in the general sense ‘equipment’, and did not apply it specifically to the straps, buckles, etc of a horse until the 14th century (it was originally used for any equestrian equipment, including reins, saddles, etc, but now it denotes exclusively the gear of a draught horse).
=> harangue, harbinger, harbour, harry, herald

harness (n.)

c. 1300, "personal fighting equipment, body armor," also "armor or trappings of a war-horse," from Old French harnois, a noun of broad meaning: "arms, equipment; harness; male genitalia; tackle; household equipment" (12c.), of uncertain origin, perhaps from Old Norse *hernest "provisions for an army," from herr "army" (see harry (v.)) + nest "provisions" (see nostalgia). Non-military sense of "fittings for a beast of burden" is from early 14c. German Harnisch "harness, armor" is the French word, borrowed into Middle High German. The Celtic words are believed to be also from French, as are Spanish arnes, Portuguese arnez, Italian arnese. Prive harness (late 14c.) was a Middle English term for "sex organs."

harness (v.)

"to put a harness on a draught animal," c. 1300, from Old French harneschier "make ready, equip, arm," from harnois (see harness (n.)); figurative sense "to control for use as power" is from 1690s. Related: Harnessed; harnessing.

But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their interest.
