courir

to run; to hurry; to rush; to go

“Ce soir-là, en sortant du travail, je cours me réfugier dans le premier bar, en face de la gare.” — That evening, leaving work, I rush to take refuge in the nearest bar, opposite the station.

Inherited from Old French courre, corre (modified under the influence of -ir verbs), from Latin currere (“to run”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱers- (“to run”).
