Etymology
The word Harkat-ul-Mujahideen comes from Arabic and Urdu parts: Harkat means 'movement', ul means 'of the', and Mujahideen means 'fighters' and comes from jihad, which means 'struggle' or 'holy fight'. So the name literally says 'movement of fighters', which explains why it is used for a militant group.
