Etymology: "Hurryers" is simply the plural of "hurryer," formed from the verb "hurry" with the agentive suffix "-er," which marks a person or thing that performs an action. "Hurry" itself entered English in the 1500s, probably from the Scots and northern English form of "hurry," and its earlier sense was closer to "to drive or carry off violently" than to rushing. Lots of "-er" words follow the same pattern, such as "singer" or "worker." The noun "hurryer" is much rarer than the verb. Dictionaries record it mainly as a derivative used for people who hurry others along, so it has little independent history of its own. The plural simply adds "-s" to the singular, following the regular English pattern.
