▪ I. hoise, v. Obs. exc. dial.|hɔɪz| Pa. tense and pple. hoised, hoist. Forms: α. 5 hysse, 6 hyce, hyse. β. 5– hoise (6 hoighce, 6–7 hoyse, hoisse, 7 hoiss). [In 15–16th c. hysse, hyce, which corresponds with Icel. hisa, Norw., Sw. hissa, Da. hisse, LG. hiesen, hissen (Chyträus 1582, whence Ger. hissen), Du. hijschen (het zeyl ophijsen to hoise the sail, Hexham 1678); also F. hisser (16th c. hinser, inser, 1611 Cotgr. yser), It. issare (Diez), Sp. izar (1599 Minsheu hiçar), Pg. içar. It is not yet known in which language this nautical word arose; the English examples are earlier than any cited elsewhere. The β forms hoighce, hoisse, hoise, appear to arise from a broad pronunciation of hyce, hysse, hyse (the mod. repr. of which appears to be the northern heeze); they are earlier than the interchange of oi, ī, in oil, īle, boil, bīle, etc. Otherwise, Engl. oi, oy, is usually of foreign origin, French or Dutch: cf. rejoice, boil, toy, etc. It is to be noticed that the word appears early as an interjection, being the actual cry of sailors in hauling: Eng. hissa (c 1450), Sc. heisau (Compl. of Scot. 1549), Sp. hiza (Minsheu 1599), now iza, Pg. iça, F. inse! inse! (Rabelais c 1530). These Romanic forms have the appearance of the imperative of the vb. hizar, içar, inser; but whether this is historically so, or whether the vb. was subseq. formed from the cry, is not clear.] 1. trans.
