Regarding hustle, I see: > late 17th century (originally in the sense ‘shake, toss’): from Middle Dutch hutselen So I think it splits into the dice and gambling sense, where deception becomes a valuable skill. And also the "hustle and bustle" sense, as in a football coach yelling at his player to hustle.
